Video Presention Rationale
Reporting the City
In answer to the Reporting the City brief and after completing my reportage book , I will be producing a video lasting about 3-6 minutes. The video will be edited on Final Cut Pro and will include a title page showing what the video is about and showing what part of Leeds I reported which was the East side.
I've chosen to produce a video for my final presentation because of the research I obtained when I went on the journey East. The two main focal points for me that stood out immediately were the noise and the things I observed. Personally I found that you didn't need to look at things around you to know what was happening, you could just listen and recognise sounds e.g building work. This is what inspired me to choose video as my form of medium as I believed it would be the best way of communicating this idea. Initially I was going to produce an audio CD with just the sounds on which I heard when looking at the different parts of my journey from the busy industrial city centre to the quiet suburbs at Temple Newsham. I thought that this wouldn't show my idea in enough depth.
I will be experimenting with video techniques that I have learnt from my elective, using different angles and shots. I don't want the video to be visually interesting as I want the viewer to use their hearing sense as to understand what the video is about.
The content of the video will consist of a range of shots from 6 specific destinations, each clip will last 40 seconds long. The shot will either be taken with the camera in one place pointing at the floor showing the ground, the camera pointing at the sky or the camera filming from a PPV. The shot will depend on the specific destination.
