City In Flux: Development of Final

Development of Final

Final output 3 720p from Merry Eady on Vimeo.

The last film I did added a different effect over the top of the images. I likes this one because it added a colour over the top making the images within the video more unique and I feel conveys the decaying aspect of the video better. I still however don't like the way the quality of the video has come out.

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.
