Adopt a \u2018look-down-the-nose\u2019 approach to YouTube videos for a while to see how that goes. Explore found footage material more. The impact of digitality on the historical practice of found footage filmmaking. Movement 1.1 The Futures of Cinmea \u2013 Story Without End? Found Footage in the Digital Era. By Tilly Walnes. www.movementjournal.com. Recycling. Spatial montage. Manovich. E.g. After Effects videos (like CHI Media showreel). Matte extraction \u2013 physically putting cutouts from different films together. Temporal Photoshop collages. Cinematic montage vs collage. Montage is in sequence, collage is together in the same frame. Combining both together = Enda, Bertie. Digital compositing combined with linear editing \u2013 cinematic cluster where the spatial dimension takes precedence over the linear temporality of the piece. Time and space are no longer separate, but intertwined and overlapping in a new multi-dimensional form of montage. Source material not restricted to video \u2013 may include photos, analogue and digital film, drawings, engravings, newspapers, animation, graphics, typography. No longer medium specific, but rather all reducible to 1s and 0s, made of the same malleable stuff \u2013 interchangeable. Film is rejected by practitioners of \u2018digital moving image\u2019 or Motion Graphics (not quite). Footage is not accurate to describe all the media that may make up a remixed work. \u201cHybrid media text\u2019? Recycled moving image collage? \u2018Remix\u2019 is too colloquial. Need a new and better term. Recycled cinema is too limited as it may incorporate video, audio, text, image, interactivity and code \u2013 any media type. Solid historical relationship to Found Footage Filmmaking, but it has evolved into a new beast. Need to read Manovich. All of his work indeed. \u2018Found\u2019 doesn\u2019t apply. Material is ubiquitous online. \u2018Footage\u2019 does not apply \u2013 multiple media types. Filmmaking \u2013 the end result is not film \u2013 it is a digital moving image created using non-linear montage and spatial collage techniques in tandem. No longer subversive or critical \u2013 what was once experimental is now main-stream. Subversiveness is restricted to the unauthorized appropriation of copyrighted material. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Refocus on history of found footage film-making.
