The second part of the lectorial focused on video essays, and what it actually is and comprises of. We were shown Nick Moore’s example of a video essay ‘Video Essay, Video Essay’, showing exactly how it works.

These were some points I jotted down to remember:

  • Structure: informal, unconventional
  • Pot Pourri of sources and ideas
  • Citations: Consistent, multiple
  • Ideas: Juxtaposition
  • Narration: Voice over
  • Experiment: Layered and textured

As it’s a relatively new method within studies, there are many techniques for citing certain works, it can literally be done in any creative way (on screen, vocal, link on the screen etc).
