soviet montage

Untitled from chloe sibs on Vimeo.

We were given an archive of old footage. When looking through the footage I decided to place images together that wouldn't necessarily usually go, then people could make their own interpretation on the film.

The edit I was most pleased with is at the end where I have placed two sections of the same film over each other but I made one go backward and the other forward. When I made them less opaque the effect was ghostlike.

The music we were given was 'America Is Waiting by Brian Eno&David Byrne'

I think the music went well, it sounded quite mechanical. It also sounded quite strange and repetitive so it went with the randomness of the clips I used. The repetitiveness was mirrored when I went back and forth between images.

When working on this monatge there was problems when looking back through it, some clips wernt playing, or were jumping, so it was hard to totally see what the final montage would look like. But I am pleased with the outcome.
