Sketch #13 – Hybrid ideas: Experimental video

What if we explored a completely different genre, making a hybrid video review much unlikeĀ the usual? And we thought, what if we tried something experimental? Rather than having it very flat or commercialised, we wondered how it would turn out if we assembled together something that was more abstract and artistic. We found the whole genre of experimental films very different and unique, and thus wanted to try it out as a sketch.

After having taken the footage and editing it into a video, we felt that we would require more research on experimental films, should we decide to pursue it in Project Four. Seeing as how experimental films put a lot of emphasis on colours and editing, we may need to expand it further by making it more visually uncanny and also play around a little more with video angles and background music.

Here is an example of an experimental film that we quite enjoyed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nc-J9fFXZjk. To be on that level, combining both experimental film and video reviews, would require quite a bit of thought and experimenting, but we do find it a rather interesting concept and might consider working on it in the next project.
