In an attempt to remain true to the assignment I clipped the audio from the original file and then listened to it by itself attempting to picture images or scenes that would coincide with specific sounds. The timing was the hardest part to get and I shortened/ lengthened specific scenes to try to match them with the audio as best as possible. Using the same audio was a difficult task in this way but I found a clever way to cut specific sections of audio to make it match better with the scenes. Not on purpose I think this rounds out my piece much better than having a mere linear cut of sound, instead now I have 9 minutes (original length of video) clipped and merging with each other in a much shorter film which I believe to be a true tribute to the entirety of the original film. Along the same lines of representing the original video I used black and white paint on a background attempting to make the styles the same. The content of the original video was an exploration of humanities evolution and descent, in a similar way I tried to make mine about a similar descent into the pain and mixed feelings and emotions that come with depression ie. solitude, desolation, bursts of anger and tears etc. It took me a very long time with over 400 clips of video turned into jpegs to make this video.
