Video in similar theme

 

 

Above is a promotional video filmed by the channel Visit Melbourne, that advertising how excited a day in Melbourne could be from paddle-surfing in the early morning to drinking at late night. In terms of editing technique, it shows more than 10 points of time that each scene only lasts a moment, along with to indicate the time change by the flipping clock at the centre. Although all the fragments are extremely short in length, it still demonstrated me certain possible ways to imply the flow of time, such as the sun shining at 9am, store opening at 10:38 and restaurants scenes at night.

Another video produced by the same channel 3 years ago (in the same title), had used a second person POV, focused on actions of different people in specific times to lead the flow of different fragments, and to connect between them by various special effects. It reminded me the importance of using visual effects in short duration fragments that I have learnt in the pervious studio, which could directly stimulate viewer’s diverse senses and to let them concentrate on the film.

How to use Korsakow?

As being a tool to make audio-visual interactive projects with minimalistic visual design, it surprised me there was only a few Korsakow tutorial videos on YouTube, as well as not much website had mentioned it, the Korsakow Manual had seemingly been the only guide of this program for beginners like me.

 

For instance, while making interfaces of the initial idea (which have not been used), I was struggling on how to let 9 different previews pop up in designated order at the same time, which had easily been solved after figured out how the SNU rating function works through searched ‘rating’ in the manual. Furthermore, the manual had helped me understand what the two different ‘Loop’ checkboxes used for under the SNU setting (one for video, one for background sound), that made me confused when I first engaged with this unfamiliar program (which was actually quite straightforward except the keyword system).
