City In Flux: Development of Final

Re-do of Final from Merry Eady on Vimeo.

After noticing that the quality of the previous videos I did were poor I decided to re-do the whole video. I knew what I already wanted within the video and how it was suppose to go so I re-created it but hopefully making the quality of the images slightly better. I only made a few slight alterations within the video that I feel makes the video better. Once I had finished making the video I rendered it so that I could see the quality of it before I add any effect to the film. This allowed me to see the outcome of the video as well. Also when I re-did the video it came to 1 second shorter than the previous one. I feel that this is because I made the video more precise to the song I chose and the images evenly and equally spaced out within the timeline of After Effects.

Background

“Major cities are in a continuous state of flux caused by building and rebuilding activities and flows of artifacts, goods, commodities, and people, which dissolve and recreate different areas as sites of activity and use. Cities are characterized by tensions between this destruction and reconstruction of spaces, the coexistence of heterogeneous groups, and the different claims upon spaces, which they advance, and contest. The fusion between the physical form of the city and its social composition promises to help us understand how the question of the city’s identity and differences can become a topic of interest for the groups of persons who inhabit its spaces and who calculate ways and means of practically dealing with these changes.”

Extract from Culture of Cities Project

The ‘City in flux’ can take many forms in its simplest and most literal form ‘City in flux’ is little more than the layout of the town and the associated directional signage. However, when we apply a more cultural interpretation, then the ‘City in flux ’is more than this alone. It is an integral, multi- sensory landscape that is realised when many factors inter-relate. The way in which the space is interpreted and perceived.
