Completing

This week we started the edit on the video. Where as before the plan had been to project four separate films onto our space although as we later found out this would not be possible to do with the amount of equipment we had available to us. Instead we came up with the solution of splitting one landscape shot into four different columns. This allowed us to use one projector but still create the same effect. We also needed to add our own original soundtrack to the piece that would change rhythm and beat between the decades ensuring that it gave a clear difference of music through the ages. In order to create this we worked alongside a composer from Bournemouth Arts University, he managed to capture the perfect vibe from each generation so in that sense I was very pleased with the soundtrack. However in the future I feel as if the track should have been composed before the film, giving the dancers the appearance of fluidity and rhythm. This week we also returned to the Bournemouth pavilion in order to set up and test our installation so that any issues could be resolved before the showing. We found that we were having issues with the sound as only minimal volume was heard when we first ran through it. However rather surprisingly this was a relatively simple fix, with us attaching a small battery powered speaker alongside some headphones so the instillation could be watched as a group or individually.
