Triptych

Here’s a three-wat split screen test, grouped into the three modules of traffic, factory emissions and renewable energy. I think that the split works well, and although they are not placed in exactly the right position on the screen, we get a good feel as to how this piece may work as an installation. What I would like to do is present this using three projectors side by side. I think this would create an immersive environment for the viewer but I think I would put the renewable energy series in the middle, as I feel that the middle is the strongest position and the two films on the outside would take secondary space if one was standing in front of larger projections. I think that by playing the films side by side, we are now presented with more juxtaposition of the images and I feel that a strong dialogue has now been created. I think the next thing I will do is present them as a quad split, leaving the one corner blank, as we should be able to see the sequences in better detail. Learning how to present more than one clip on a screen at the same time, using Final Cut Pro, was todays big achievement. I must now learn how to place the frames exactly where I want them on the screen. Also with this experiment, I have included the sound of every sequence, and I think that all the sounds together project some good sound pollution, with the bird sounds quite prominent in key areas when the visuals show preference to the renewable energy series.
