Video

For my final project in Video Art 1, I had to create 5 separate videos revolving around a single concept. Each video was to be a variation of the same story/excerpt being recited. I chose to read the infamous last few lines from Jack Frost's "The Road Not Taken", a read that is often regarded as one of the most popular yet misunderstood poems ever made. With this, I wanted to explore the different lives and scenarios that the poem could relate to, whether through the intended message of Jack Frost, or not.

This was my first assignment for Video Art 1, in which I was assigned a student's ice breaker questionnaire to make a video about. The only hard guideline was that I must include the basic shots of filmmaking in my video, otherwise the premise of the video and how I interpreted my assigned questionnaire was up to me. Many of the questions that I read and took the most inspiration from had to do with the student's view on art and what inspired the student, to which they replied that they're inspired by everything around them. Given this, I wanted to create a video with abstract visual elements of file corruption and visual artifacts to help illustrate the abstract perspective of inspiration.

For this project, I was instructed to make a piece surrounding the ideas of interruption, specifically what it means to interrupt, and how interruptions create, as stated in the prompt, "...the illusion of a temporal continuum." For my video, I utilized intense lens blur to create a constant disconnect from what was being viewed, along with some abrasive jump cuts and file corruption techniques to break and disrupt the flow of the video.
