For my final video i will do a video montage that will be composed of different visuals that will all mainly be connected by the different transitions. The main theme for this project is “exploring” from a first person perspective, I want to portray the feeling or sense of been there and experiencing the surroundings for the first time. Actually this is one of the main reasons why i want to focus on the transitions as i will be traveling from different locations and the scenery will constantly change, some of the elements and visuals that this video montage includes architecture, such as the beautiful architecture that we’re surrounded by every single day, not necessarily focusing on statutes nor your average touristy places. Hard and soft textures, with these I’d like to be able to play around with them in in order to create an idealistic tribal style of patterns. Colors, i believe that the color patterns throughout the video will change constantly depending on the location but i do want to create an emphasis on certain objects by saturating and desaturating certain colors. A balance in between symmetry and asymmetry. Also, i want to include use of reflections and distance. I believe that different shots will portray different moods all throughout, they will all vary from minimal shots to arguably colossal shots in a spatial manner. I believe the story line will be up to the viewer to interpret, and this is actually something that I’m aiming for as the final outcome will most likely be perceived differently by the everyone.

Perception is an interesting subject to work with. How will you convey the sense of a first experience? Your description evokes close ups. I could see the same sets of cuts that you have been using in your videos in the class used in larger scenes of architectural spaces. I’d stay away from walking feet, pointing fingers, etc.
