Over the past few months I've been making videos almost every day and I've called them #TinyAdventures due to them only being parts of everyday life. As part of the practical module I decided I wanted to get better at editing, especially when it involves music.
The idea of using the walking feet to introduce the audience to the videos comes from the original way the videos where built up. Usually it started with feet walking somewhere, to then show the place they ended up at, such as university. Every step the feet make shows a different day and a different background. This is all done in time with the music by Jun Miyake, best known from the trailer to the Wim Wenders documentary Pina.
In my trailer it seemed fitting due to the high tempo of the music. There is a base tempo to the music, but I tried to follow the melody lines as well, cutting on the notes. There is no diegetic sound, as the fast cutting would have made it sound awkward. This also has to do with the time-lapse footage used, which has no sound originally.
I've shot all the footage in this video with my iPhone, using the inbuilt camera app. The only changes I've made to the original footage are cutting it, speeding it up, slowing it down or reversing it. I opted out of colour correcting the footage as that would be less like the original videos it came out off.
The decision to reverse the footsteps at the end of the video was made to create a balance with the beginning and the show that the videos will both look forward and back as I continue to make them. There will be calm moments as well as fast paced moments in the #TinyAdventures still to come.
