RHYTHMS of TIME: 3 Point Loop System

RHYTHMS of TIME
THE LOOP THE LOOP THE LOOP THE LOOP THE LOOP
DUE MAY 17TH


This assignment is designed to allow you to experiment with composing various rhythms via the editing process, and to explore the power of looping. Take into consideration the silent exercise we did in class with your objects. With seminally random objects we created narratives and formed understandings for ourselves what was taking place. If we think of it in video tearms it's a montage, which is a series of images that work together to create a cinematic structure (Film Language).  Define/narrow down three different video clips that are three seconds long (maximum). Then start playing with the ordering of these shots. For instance 1,1,1,2,2,1,1,1 or 1,2,3,1,2,3,2,2,3,2,2,3 could be rhythms you build with your 3 clips. Besides experimenting with ordering patterns, also try the patterns with various lengths of each clip like 1(6frames), 2(6frames), 3(6frames), 1(12frames), 2(12frames), 3(12frames) or 1(2frames), 2(2frames), 3(1sec.), 1(2frames), 2(2frames) etc... We will work on exploring this in class, but the final piece (2-3Min.) is due May 17TH. I find that this article is extremely interesting when talking about looping, take a look{ PDF Loop Theory by Brian Evans } Optional reading.
