Create one 15 to 30 second video that uses type/graphics along with actual video, stil images are optional. You must use sound for this video.

The video must make evident, according to the history of chapter two, the immediacy of video in relation to other media. As Rush explains throughout chapter 2, video had a sense of immediacy when compared to film. Evaluate how video as a medium has changed since it was first introduced and explored by artists. What is video today? Is it any different than film? How so? Make these questions inherent as part of your creative development. By this, I don't mean that you "spell them out" in the video but that you use them to develop a complex work of your own. Study carefully what Rush states about the immediacy of video, and the type of work that he covers in relation to this premise. Then choose the work of one of the artists in the chapter and develop a video that extends, questions, or remixes the issues that the artists explored in their own work.

You need to share with class members the artist you plan to work on by Monday, October 13, 2013.

Technical/Formal Requirements:

• You need to use text at least one time. The text must be a crucial open ended statement(s) that helps you make your point in each video.
• You can use cinemegraphs if you like but this is not necessary.
• You must consider the rhythm in your editing as discussed in class critique. For instance, when you let a shot/image linger or not, it must be for a reason.
• The sound should be mixed in a way that it complements yet questions the video footage.
• You can have as many scenes/shots/edits as you like for each video.
• You can use any special effects you may want to add with any software of your choice. You will be graded this time on the quality of your video and lighting.
• You must mix your sound well and not go into the red.
• You must shoot your own footage, but you can use some pre-existing material if it is necessary for your idea. Go over this option with the instructor before moving ahead.
