Finished final film!

Please make a comment...thank you!

Finishing touches

I have now finished most of the four-image editing and have increased audio levels where needed. I am very pleased with how it is all looking and the coincidence of how the subjects appear to look and study each other from box to box.

I am now working on titles and possible credits- perhaps paying thanks to everyone who features in the film.

Contextual Reference

Andy Warhol had a fascination with voyeurism and observing peoples presence. He made numerous films like the one here, simply recording people staring into the camera lens and watching their reactions. I feel this is very close to what I am trying to achieve, however I have created a situation in which I wish my subjects to react to.

Waiting...

I have now finished shooting all my material and have begun the editing process. Although my film will be presented in its original state (no filters or effects) I want to present four image sequences per screen, overlapping the audio in order to create an active, attention grabbing piece that will (hopefully) keep the viewer engaged and interested; allowing them to study and absorb human reactions.

The actual process of moving around my video and audio to overlap and fit on screen together; is not actually very time consuming. What is however, is rendering each change in order to watch the footage back. Because it is a very 'bulky' piece, with various things happening at once it takes about 15 minutes every time I need to render it, which is key to evaluating the editing process. When it comes to compressing and converting the film to MPEG-4 this will take an even greater length of time. However I am very optimistic that all this waiting will pay off!
