For my final project, I decided to go back to basics. I initially started with grand goals and ideas that eventually proved inefficient and too ambitious on my end. Later on, I realized that going back to the roots of editing is my best way to go. Just like in my previous projects, I decided to focus more on the composition of each shots and the aesthetics of my final project as a whole. The pre- and post-strategies that I utilized touched on lighting and consistency of the movements in my shots. I didn’t use a tripod and did not use a lot of centering which Rosalind Krauss discussed in “The Aesthetics of Narcisissm.” However, I believe that my strategies worked out and gave elements of balance, regularity, and anticipation into my project. I didn’t actually plan to shoot a lot of walking scenes but I liked how they individually turned out (with still and well-composed backgrounds) so I decided to make them the main substance of my project – where anticipation roots from since they are so repetitive. In addition, I decided to mainly showcase the environment of my subjects. I believe that my official theme, “Hipster Streets,” definitely called for the views of my subjects’ settings. The shakiness of my shots also added grittiness to my work which relates to the hipster idea. To add justice to the theme, I also decided to pay significant amounts of attention to timing. It was my goal to focus on audio since I believe audio would effectively compliment the shots and ideas I have. Omar Fast inspired me to think about how audio can be utilized to drive emotions and set moods. I made sure that every transitioning frame falls on a beat in the music I used, which I believe gave my project good rhythm. In the end, I realized that enhancing the basic foundations of videos is most important.
