    Pro­tip for Exer­cise 3 & Project 2

     
    Com­po­si­tion Logic (from the­ory & objects of study):

    leave your­self out (explic­itly), in favor of express­ing with data­base ele­ments (“ready­made” sto­ries, char­ac­ters, set­tings, con­crete details).
    The DJ or Film Direc­tor is respon­si­ble for arrange­ment—sequence; focal­iza­tion & juxtaposition—while remain­ing absent, in terms of voice (articulation).

    The goal (and method) is to “weave” an assem­blage of het­ero­ge­neous details, voices, and sto­ries/references from your Per­sonal Data­bases, in style of “sam­pling” and re-purposing;
    mul­ti­modal com­pos­ing as new form of expres­sion —
    not to assert your opin­ion / inter­pre­ta­tion (judgment-Orality, analysis-Literacy)
    but to present (per­form) the atmos­phere within which you are sit­u­ated
    (medi­ated iden­tity, sub­ject expe­ri­ence in net­work ecol­ogy).

          » video I made — expres­sion of medi­ated iden­tity and dig­i­tal sub­jec­tiv­ity expe­ri­ence — using

          1. Audacity

            — both to edit (“trim”) and then sequence tracks (start­ing with ~80 clips)

           
          2. Keep­Vid (save stream­ing videos)

            — as well as down­load­ing free/CreativeCommons/pub­lic domain videos at Inter­netArchive (rec­om­mended)

           
          3. Win.MovieMaker (quickly “trim” & speed-up vids; ~60 clips)
           
          4. WeVideo

            — sequence vids (with tran­si­tions) & audio tracks

           

              note this is 3 parts com­piled as one (thus, about 2-3x longer than nec­es­sary) — included here only to show A.) use of free soft­ware (although I do have WeV­ideo Pre­mium through CU)
              and B.) extent of “abstract” com­pos­ing, per­form­ing a “theme” or idea
              — using ready­made mate­r­ial (mostly films & “found footage,” drawn from & inspired by Per­sonal Data­bases (not all 4 explic­itly), “re-purposed” as per­sonal expression…
