Obstruction no.2 - fragments of videos

Originally, my fragment video was going to consist of me taking people’s faces I shot and inside a video editor, use the pen tool to mask out specific areas of their faces and replace them with others. 

Now, that idea is was scraped. 

The reason being is because I felt like this has already been done by many photographers and film artists. For now I chose to go with a different theme. 

The theme itself is more so in regards to the video itself being out of context, but little sections inside the video has a idea, theme, or meaning itself. The reason why I chose this way, because this is a better way of showing fragmented video editing. 

• I am using videos, photos, and other materials I’ve had from the past and interweaving that all together to create something. 
• I’ll be focusing on elongated transitions, close-ups. The objective is that the editing will be so fast paced and arbitrary it’ll be difficult to discern what people are looking at. 

As for the sound pieces, I may take the original sound of that video and distort it, or possibly use some sort of voiceover and distort it, cutting it up. If that doesn’t work then I may fall back on a music composition that’s rather focused on sounds, rather than lyrics or any sort of musical theme. 

The more juxtaposed and superimposed the video is the better. 

The video itself has a motif of visual aspects that are hard to discern, while the overall theme is those visual aspects being out of context, and there is no linear plot that ties each of them together. 

Now, the fragments are the visual pieces I put down on the editing track, focusing on closeups, and blurry, jagged, movement. Making it difficult for people to discern each piece. The reason being is that our eyes are see movement, whereas our brain helps us to identify that movement, and make sense of it.
