Observation Video 1 (read Description)

In my two videos, I am looking at the theme of observation and identity through a camera mounted like a static CCTV camera and a video that has been cut up and put together to create a narrative. To arrive at this idea of observation, I looked at how we all like to observe each other and create our own stories as to what people are doing. We often don't know these people but we are curious by nature and like to jump to conclusions about people's actions. The first video is set up in a similar way to a CCTV camera and is a recording of the high street in Chester from above. In this video, the viewer is encouraged to look at what is happening in the high street, and start to form a narrative in their own mind as to what is happening, this may differ greatly from viewer to viewer, or could possibly be similar. The video will be played in a loop giving the viewer a chance to watch several times to really get to grips with the large amount of things simultaneously happening in this video. In the second video, the viewer watches what is a constructed video and although they have the ability to construct a narrative in their own mine the video is more forced and constructed in a way that the viewer observes what I want them to with the focus being on the Salesperson in the background, and in the foreground more obviously the Preacher/ Evangelist and their interactions with each other and the people around them. The videos will be displayed on two screens next to each other, they will be played at the same time as they have the same soundtrack, they are played side by side so the viewer really gets to see the contrast between the narrative they have constructed, and the narrative which has been constructed for them. The videos are both 2mins and 47 seconds long, with the same soundtrack, they will be played together at the same time, and will loop continuously, this has the advantage of giving the viewer chance to construct their narrative on the first one and look at the second installment of the video without taking too much time, but at the same time providing an adequate amount of time to enjoy the videos.
