newer thoughts

My previous thought of exposing the decaying and stretched Mini DV did not turn out the way I thought before. I believe it is because now I’m using newer and better quality Mini DV then I have used in the past. So the broken DV footage is much more unlikely to happen then what I’ve experienced in the past. When I was experimenting with the looks of Mini DV I came across some effects that are commonly used in DV media today. I found these effect mostly comical in the sense that they are very cliché, so giving this more thought, my intention to produce a DV project that highlights on the typical images that remind you of most DV videos you have come across in your life time. Expose those images and create a project that will make you think twice about how stereotypes of media can be true to an extent.

new thoughts

I have been giving thought to my first experiences with Mini DV, and I soon remember all of the first tapes that I shot. I shot over them time and time again soon I my footage became unusable, that tape stretched out making the footage look somewhat pixilated. I wanted to attempt to work with these chaotic images to explore the media of DV. Take a greater look into the faults that this media would experience, and create an emotional reaction such as suspense and anxiety to expose a newer way to think about this newer media.

To explore the mini dv bits and pieces I will expand the way I have seen it in the last years. I will try to find and expose the little parts of mini dv that collectively depict the newer digital age, compared to the dying art of film.
