SKETCH: Can one single still image and sound design still make a video?

 

This sketch challenges the idea of what constitutes a video by using only one single still image as opposed to the moving image throughout the entire video duration. It also explores the impact of sound design in the construction of a video as the main narrative element.

The standard frame rate for TV and film is 24 frames per second. A Vine is restricted to 6 seconds in length, so following this standard it would be composed of 144 frames. Every phase of the competition from the callout, to the announcement of the winners, was carried out via Vines so every frame had to contribute to achieving each specific purpose as the time limit is very slim but extremely important in relaying this information was sound as spoken words were used to invite participation  in the contest, announce rules and announce the winner’s names.

This sketch utilises this idea of condensing important information in a small amount of frames/short duration of sound and also the topic of discussion from class earlier about whether a single still image with audio can be considered a video or not.
