Exercise 5.5: Create a slide show.
As I said at 5.4 with three of the suggested items not working it is difficult to comment on how they looked or sounded.
The Duckrabbit piece was a mix of still and video with appropriate sound. I'm not sure what the message was. Was it the lack of interest in their local fauna with the killing of the lizard, or the fact that the men seemed to little but dance while the women work. Whatever it was I found the Presentation repetitive and failed to hold my attention.
The piece from the New York Times was very atmospheric with the sounds of the city backing each presentation. The short introduction of each character left me me wanting to hear more. A thoughtful piece well done.
Bongo Fever was the strongest presentation. It showed what happens when Government ceases to exist and all hope of a brighter future fades. The powerful pictures with local background sounds backed up by a flat factual commentary brought home a message of a lost and forlorn population.
As I had no files suitable for a slide show show I took my inspiration from the work done by artists using Google Earth as a starting point.
I took a stroll along Beach Street, Deal and took a picture of every building from North Street to Oak Street. With the exception of a couple of builders I excluded all human activity.
I loaded the 54 images into a program called Fantashare only to find it was not yet compatible with Mac OS Yosemite 10.10. I reverted to using Lightroom. I will send the link to my tutor in due course.
A copy of this slide show is included in my submission box.
