Development

Last week, I had a tutorial with Simon that allowed him to see where my project was going. I had only been really putting the footage I wanted into my film and arranging it. The nature of my film means I want the audience to understand what they are seeing, and experience it fully. However, I had first thought to have the images playing one after another, showing maybe one shot or two of that footage to get a sense of the amount of footage of this type there is.

However, Simon thought it would be more beneficial if I could think of way to let the audience experience all the footage together that is not just a linear progression, and that the screens showing the differing types of footage needed to show a link somehow. I thought about this, and decided it would be best to put the footage into a collage on the screen, changing it every so often so that the audience sees all the footage at once and has time to take it in:

So, the footage looks more like the left screen than the right as shown above.

Personally I prefer this way of doing it much more, and it gives me a much easier job in seeing how the footage interacts with each other when seen altogether.
