editing visual projection

Recently, I have been pretty busy editing my Visual Projection....it seems to be taking a hell of a long time! I had my first edit presentation a couple of weeks ago and Debra and Danny Kaye explained where I could improve and explained what they would change personally. However in my last piece of work I got criticised for paying too much attention to feedback and so this time I have I have only changed what I have felt is necessary.
The main criticism of my first edit was that the lectures felt there was too much going on in my film. Even though there are strong themes running through my film such as movement, repetition and reflection, there was just too much going on. And so the main task recently for me was to cut a lot of the sequences out however exchanging them for others since this piece has to last a certain amount of time. I have repeated more sequences I felt have worked well in the film and have included more reflection and ripples. I am showing my next edit on Friday so fingers crossed they will find it an improvement!

Visual Projection more footage!

This weekend I have been filming for my film getting more ideas and trying to keep the video fresh since it lasts four minutes which has an impact on my filming. The problem can be that it turns too repetitive and so the audience will find it boring. However I have put a sequence of jpeg images to create symmetry and I have put quirky experimental clips in to keep the sequence exciting.  I have gone from clips of fires to clips of snow.

It looks quite boring here however I have added after effects to these clips!
