This is the video piece I came up with for day 4 of our project. I wanted to illustrate the increasing use of brutality within the police force in America. I wanted to do this using footage from various news channels and reports from the mainstream media. The involvement of mobile phones and cameras in these cases is important, especially when it comes to the inevitable investigation. Head cameras and chest cameras fitted onto police officers is also very telling statement. This way we don't have to rely so much on witness statements or unreliable memory.
I love working with video, from selecting material from research to the editing process. Looking at timing and the length of each clip is something I spend a lot of time on. I am always conscious of what is being said in each clip and whether or not the viewer will relate the words they hear to what they are seeing. I try not to get too bogged down with this though. Ultimately I am creating work for myself. I probably shouldn't be overly concerned about how much the viewer understands it.
