Montage.

I had to think long and hard about this one I checked out magnum in motion to glean some insperation and ideas. I finnally came up with idea as using glastonbury festival as my topic.

As I Live in the village that hosts the festival I am well aware of the controversy that surrounds the event and the impact that 250'000 weekend visitors have on both people and the environment, I aim to illustrate through montage the side that you do not see and the reality behind the festival.

Photos taken on saturday.

I already have some footage and photos from previous years at the festival which I intend to use, but with this montage I want to draw a comparison between the land whilst the festival is in full swing and the site how it is when there are just the cows, the rabbits and the birds. Saturday was beautiful autumn day, so I took the opportunity to go out and photograph and film the festival site as it is when peaceful and quiet.

Lengthy Process

I have began editing film and choosing photographs for my montage, trawling through old footage was a lengthy process but I managed to narrow down the clips I want use. The editing software I am using is sony vegas,

It works in a different way to final cut pro, but the principles are the same, and I have gained a better understanding of the program by doing the tutorials on Final Cut Pro. I am now able to organize all the media into bins and understand the setup process more clearly.

In the lesson today I finished off my montage, although I had worked on it at home I still needed to tweak it a little.

The music I used was from a band called Back of Beyond and the album is called meeting pool, all the imagery was taken by myself.
