15 HOUR EXAM

IN MY FIFTEEN HOUR EXAMS I USED ARCHIVED 90s MANCHESTER NIGHTLIFE, RAVE AND HAÇIENDA VIDEOS OVERLAYED WITH MY OWN TO CREATE A SHORT VIDEO. MY AIM IN CREATING THIS VIDEO IS TO ENCAPSULATE THE FEELING AND SIGNIFICANCE OF THE MANC RAVE SCENE.

I used iMovie to create my video, using the layering tool to combine the archival videos with my own.

I added the song Voodoo Ray By a guy called Gerald behind my video as it is an iconic song in the 90s manc house scene, and fits with my clips

also in various segments I layered my clips with retro visuals and graphics to give it an funky vibe

I THEN CAPTURED STILLS FROM VARIOUS POINTS OF MY VIDEO

AND EXPERIMENTED WITH CHEMICAL DEVELOPMENTS

STILLS PRINTED ON ACETATE

I THEM ATTEMPTED TO DEVELOP MY STILLS BY TURNING THEM INTO DIGITAL NEGATIVES IN THE DARK ROOM BUT ONLY DEVELOPING CERTAIN AREAS OF THE IMAGE AND USING THE CHEMIGRAM PROCESS TO DEVELOP THE OTHER UNDEVELOPED AREAS- BUT I DIDN'T LIKE HOW THESE TURNED OUT SO I TRIED SOMETHING ELSE.

MY CHEMIGRAM EXPERIMENTS

I THEN EDITED,THESE WHICH INCLUDED INVERTING THEM LEVELING THEM AND GRADIENT MAPPING THEM WITH A SELECTIVE COLOUR TO CREATE NEW IMAGES TO LAYER WITH MY STILLS.
