Select a sequence from your film, and a quotation from a written text (not specifically related to your film; it could be academic, poetic, narrative, etc.) of no longer than 5 sentences. Alter the video sequence in some noticeable way using at least two different types of transitions or effects. Either replace or significantly alter the soundtrack. The quotation should appear onscreen in some dynamic interaction with the video. The video should not be longer than 3 minutes.
