Quad Split Final

So here is the my final show piece; three minutes in length and full HD. I don’t think there is much more I could do to get this uber-ready for the show. There is a small gap in sound at 1:28, but I think this is fine and not really worth doing another 6 or 7 hour render in order to fix it (instead I’ll let the multi linear-edit render). There are some really good juxtapositions, specifically at 0:53 where we can see the factory emissions and clouds on the left hand side of the screen, and the wind farm in the bottom right, seemingly blowing the clouds and emissions out of the frames. Also at 1:08 we have the overhead power cables on the left and their direction of flow mimicked by the highways in Seoul on the right. As mentioned in a previous post, having employed the rule of thirds when originally composing the shots, we can see that this is often mimicked in different windows at the same time and bring balance to the overall composition. The frame at 1:48 is a great example of what I envisioned when writing my original project proposal and now feel that I have accomplished what I originally set out to achieve. This frame contains good examples of the city, the factory emissions and a wind turbine with overhead power cables, whilst also showing the wheel I shot in Japan, to symbolise the cycle that refers to the seasons. Another reason why I am happy in presenting the quad split as my final piece is that we have a clear division into four segments, much like the seasons within a year, referring back to climate change and sustainability affecting our weather patterns. I am happy with the way that the film ends, with three of the blocks disappearing off screen within succession, and the image of the renewable source playing for just an extra second.
