Today in class, we separated into small groups, stated the problems, and held a group discussion analyzing and breaking down the issues and then determining a plausible solution. By thinking inversely about the issue(s) and looking at them through different points of view by listening to our peers, we came up with some very valuable suggestions and learned how to think outside the box. This idea of collaborative brainstorming and problem-solving will be integral in any professional situation and will be invaluable in the work place. The process worked because everyone's voice was heard.
I. With utilizations of subtle, often unrecognizable techniques like depth of field, rhythmic cuts, and repetition, the video creates a sense of focused familiarity within the viewer which gives the flowing, seamless feel to the piece. The relationship between sound and image is everything and solely maintains this flow (despite explicitly fractured video editing).
II. In many videos, and definitely within the video in class "Gardyn", the video relies on non-diegetic sound and perfect editing and rhythm to maintain its sense of cohesion. With perfect timing, non-diegetic sound takes on the illusion of being diegetic sound. But in instances like in "Gardyn", when there is even the slightest offbeat moment b/w sound&image, this illusion is broken. It becomes clear that the audio is in fact non-diegetic and thus brings the viewer out of the world of the piece.
III. I'm curious about the significance of "graphical editing". in my experience with video editing, I haven't heard this term used before, and I was interested to hear exactly what it is. However, after listening, it seems that the idea of graphical editing is something that is so ingrained in my head that I don't even think about it anymore. Basic things like symmetry, color temperature, and repetition have become routine in my work process. I'm curious about the use of the word "graphical". How does graphical relate to the aforementioned elements of sound and image? Is it an appropriate word?
