My first foray into incorporating written text into my digital video practice. It’s proving interesting. Having put text with the moving image through editing I realised that I don’t think it’s working. I can’t really tell how exactly but it just feels wrong and it’s not doing what I want it to.
Today I recorded my voice reading along a series of questions I want answered or that I think about in terms of my life. These are slowly being modified as I revisit them over again. The moment I was done with the recording and into the sound studio to edit it felt different. The spoken word now adds another very personal and accessible dimension to the footage that I don’t think was there previously. It become more about an individual than an interaction with an object.
I think I am getting bogged down with the different elements in the piece, like it’s become too complicated and what I want to communicate is becoming lost.
