Vexercise 3 Drops! Audio Editing Supercut
Happy Sunday Everyone! It's time for Vexercise 3:
3) Audio layering supercut
The instructions read as follows: {edited for music version!}
Produce a 1 minute video edit of your selected source, in which you edit together similar visuals (this could be a theme like “hands” or “curtains,” or it could be a type of shot or camera work like “all the close ups”). Your audio for this should be a selection of spoken word from your source, or audio that is not music from your source. You can combine these spoken word or non-music sounds with music if you want! The audio and visuals can line up some of the time or none of the time. If your source doesn’t have audio, you can choose audio from another source.
My guess is that this one might be an unfamiliar process to some--that is, maybe those of us who have vidded before still may not have a lot of experience with this one. That's true for me--I haven't done a lot of audio editing beyond cutting songs down to size. But this practice of audio editing fan video is very popular within certain fandoms and fan communities and is spreading rapidly, and can be so amazingly done. Plus there are those videos that integrate audio *into* a song like all the Glitter and Golds. Strictly speaking that doesn't fit into this challenge, BUT if someone wants to go for it I know I for one would be excited to see it!
Audio Editing Inspirations (please feel free to suggest others)

Videographic Essays:
Sooo, you may have questions, ask them here!!! And if and when you create something for this challenge, of course do share it here and with the A03 Vexercises collection!!
As always, we'll have a check in next week, and this exercise will be due the following week, on April 25th.
Happy vidding :)
ETA: I've been pondering this (and contemplating my own vexercise!) and I think that, since music is so important to vids, and so many of the examples we gave actually do incorporate music, it makes sense for the rules for this one to expand to incorporate external music, as long as you *also* edit audio source. :)

Videographic Essays:
- Kogonada's "Hands of Bresson"
- (and if you want to see the Untamed supercut of hands I made for the vidcrit exercises inspired by Kognada's Bresson supercut)
- Object Oriented Breaking Bad
- ROYGBIV: A Pixar Supercut
- Cigarettes - A Tarantino Supercut
- hmmmm there was one of Sherlock's coat that I loved, but I can't seem to find it... if you can think of any vids that incorporate or use supercut logics, please share then and I'll add them here!
- Ummm how about this Guardian one: warning for lollipop indecency :D Guardian - WeiLan】Lollipop Temptation

This was interesting, because I tried to adhere to the supercut rules, but limitation of source left me needing to pull out repeating visuals, so this may come off as incoherent. Hm. Still really fun to do!

Here's Love on Ice, for Yuri on Ice. Please note that you can turn on YouTube's captions if you want subs!
It was a really different kind of experience doing the audio editing first, and then trying to find ways to vid it... I wish there was a way of separating the background foley from the music, but alas.

Last Night I Heard Everything In Slow Motion
It was really fun to clip for this one because I knew exactly what shots I needed! I didn't use all the clips, but I did keep them in the order they appeared on the show, which was deeply satisfying to me.
I added a combination of people talking and non-musical ambient sounds from the show-- I'm not sure how much the smaller sounds really add, but I liked playing with them!
I really struggled with wrangling the onscreen text-- HOW DO PEOPLE DO THIS ALL THE TIME. I HATE IT. WHAT ARE FONTS, WHY IS TIMING, AHHH.

And yes fonts and timing are a whole new level of vidding frustration!

i used the theme of them turning around/looking up/... and added audio of the character's names being called
The biggest challenge was finding audio clips that were relatively "clean" without any annoying flute music blasting in the back adskghsdfg (nothing against flute music but this genuinely drove me insane)

Focused on the shots with masks, which feels appropriate given what's going on

But I'm so glad that I got it done at all because it was touch and go there for a little while!
YouTube blocked it sadly, Thank goodness for Critical Commons!
