Exploration

For this assignment I decided to pursue my exploration with Premiere. In my test clip of a girl walking on the beach, I used a lot of time effects as well as some others, and in my clip it made the girl into just see through outlines, and the waves looked like just some sort of moving texture. I wanted to further explore the idea of moving textures around us. Basically daily things we see but never really stop to look at long enough to realize how many aesthetic shapes, textures, and patterns there are around us.

I took 1 second clips of things around my apartment complex, I made them 1 second in the beginning because we see so many things on a daily basis that it usually is just a fast moment in time for us. I then used the same clips each for 3 seconds with the effects on them to reduce them to mainly shapes, textures, and movement. Longer intervals for the second half of clips so the viewer can focus on what each original clip can be reduced to if we take time to look long enough. 

There was one effect that I used in my original test clip that I didn’t like, and honestly forgot to take it out (and did not have another entire hour for the clips to render if I did take it out). It was a rolling shutter effect, which made the edges of the screen flicker occasionally. In the future I plan on taking that out of the final piece.
