Today’s workshop was focused on getting used to the editing and formatting of stock footage. This was complicated for me, as I tried to find footage that related to one another, but it ended up looking quite dis-jointed as a final product. I tried to keep it consistent by only using black and white footage, but it was difficult to select similar content. The footage I selected related to planes and Amelia Earhart, as well protesting for racial equality in the 1960s. I tried to portray revolutions such as technology to the demand for equality, using Hugh Laurie’s blues piece “St. James infirmary”, however, I was unhappy with my editing work. I feel that this is something that I need to improve on throughout this course, particularly in the transitioning of footage.
