workshop

Using examples from a variety of time-based art forms, the workshop will demonstrate how to organize footage, sound and “content” over time.

Topics will include:

• thematic, narrative, chronological and chaptered structures

• arcs, tension, conflict and resolution

• the use of binaries and polarities over time

• content distillation, module structures and “back” editing

• motifs, foreshadowing and flashbacks

• applying the structural devices of music and writing to narrative forms

• organizing footage and timelines for effective time-based editing
