I hadn’t even selected my location yet but I had a sense of what I wanted to do in the final edit. I’m honestly not sure how it would work/play out, but I have an idea of juxtaposing the sound and the images throughout the video. At first glance of the assignment, I just wanted to have footage from one location, and then  audio from the other. Trying to match these contrasting senses would have been interesting in the edit room. But upon reading the assignment, we need to at least attempt to use basically everything we capture. So a revised plan might be to use video from both location, but split the audio from the visuals and cross them over. Whenever one location is being visually shown, the sounds from the other is being played underneath. I think this could create a sense of dissonance  in the audience which might be interesting to play with. I think this would work especially well if the locations chosen are very contrasting. For example, one of the locations I’m thinking about choosing is an outdoor park. Playing sounds from an inner city urban area with trams/cars/people etc over visuals of a calm, quiet park might create an interesting juxtaposition for the audience. This would definitely be fun to play with, trying to create a disjointed experience, and leave what makes each sound up to the audience’s imagination. Having them paint the picture of what kind of place the sounds are making and how it differs from what they are visually experiencing would be an intriguing audio-visual project. This particular format would also give us a pretty straight forward formula to follow while in the editing process, which I think could really speed up the work we have to do.
