Exercise #5 – Deformative Double Feature
Deformative Double Feature is due in class on Tuesday October 18:
Based on the examples in Mittell’s writing about videographic deformation, make two videos that deform your source film / TV show. They can be any length and scope, but feel free to restrict it to a single scene or section of the film (rather than trying to create a deformation of the entire film). The two deformations should be different in kind rather than variations on the same approach – for instance, make one that deforms the spatial dimension of a scene, the other based around the audio. The deformation can follow the examples discussed in Mittell’s articles, or you can create your own deformative parameters and logic. Briefly write-up a post describing your deformative practices and post it to the Conversations thread.
In-class workshop:
Bring questions about how to make any of the deformations in the articles!
