Ruta, Katie and I came back to college after it reopened, and together we watched the editing Molly has done so far for the video. There were a few problems with it, the main one being that she used a Coldplay song as the main track which of course was not copyright free.
We began editing by first listening to all of Marianne’s speech, picking out key points and summarising it. Then we had a critique with Marianne and David, but after a short discussion we decided that they should come back to critique us on Friday(6th) instead.
From word doc. :
Track 12 : The event did respond to the context a Christmas period – respond to shoppers-alternative Christmas event-set up a grotto inspired environment– 3 sections: innocent joy – enchanted woodland, playful encounters- community based work, dark wit-clinical presentation of work maybe satirical meanings- In conclusion, not really a Christmas event but it responded to the social context of Christmas
Track 11 : Were the work for sale? No, we transformed it into something of an experience, no pressure to buy anything- experienced on audiences own terms – relaxed, laid back, open to interpretation
Track 10 : HOW DID YOU FIND THE SPACE – East street arts description, many unused space due to redevelopment of the city —Boots – Rebooted – Space was meaningful, disused street, left abandoned – it had a real purpose and real meaning to people walking by
Track 9 ; HOW DOES THE WORK FIT BRADFORD – work before in space felt different —in space installed gave a very different perspective – the way it put together gave a narrative — FITS really well, issued discuss very pertinent to Bradford – way they were discussed respectful of people – took it really well, read it, understood it — feedback from public : How thoughtful, balanced the work was – questioning Christmas but not in a negative way – One guy who was homeless moved by Daniela’s work : very subtle, wasn’t offensive—- Graham said it was VISUALLY STUNNING – Loraine broke down into tears seeing the transformation – NICE surprise for people who came – MOST DIVERSE audience ever worked with Viscom –
Track 08 – Students responded well, tight schedule, Student did very good in short time — Students work EXTREMELY HARD, Raise the bar—- Real Deadline—-Live events are stressful: Good experience.
Track 07 – :LIVE project important aspect of Viscom – How students engage with REAL people – get a reaction — Tjis situation had very diverse audience – Different backgrounds, beliefs
Track 06 – WHAT SKILLS DID THE STUDENTS GAIN – collaborative project, softer skills, communication- listening, understanding, equal contribution — OTHER SKILLS – running an event- planning, how audience can engage with work – seeing live audience , live reaction—
Track 05 – Because it was live, Students took it seriously , high standard.—-DESCRIBE THE PROJECT : Developing ideas processes and outcomes together, first part students develop concept, second part building the space
Track 04 – Students had to think about Christmas as a SOCIAL PHENOMENON, how people spend and celebrate Christmas very differently–Talking about the space
Track 03 – Alternative Christmas theme ; Diverse audience ; had to be thoughtful ;
————————————————————————–
After this we reviewed all the shots together, collecting ideas of what footage should go over which part of the speech etc. We made a list of the shots we will potentially use and gave them each a small description to make the editing easier. We also stitched up all the timelapse images.
