OVE – Project 3 – Video 5 – How to cook noodles? (Montage – Non-linear)

Cooking Noodles Montage from Troy on Vimeo.

Since the previous videos were very linear in nature I decided for this video to try and create something as non-linear as possible while still retaining the instructional element. I used the videos filmed for the previous sketches and layered them on top of each other as well as changing the ordering and positioning to create a montage of steps forcing the viewer to try and find a pattern between what they are seeing and the steps required to complete the process. As far as the non-linear aspect, the video works well in that in engages your attention and gives you all of the information at a fast pace. The video however is very distracting due to the multiplicity of the videos and sounds mashed together as well as being non-linear makes it almost impossible to follow the cooking process. The viewer struggles to follow what is happening as naturally your eyes follow each video as they pop up on the screen rather than the natural sequence of events.
