My idea for this project is to do a reading of a poem and then set it to background music and images that add to the ambience and “Slow Media” aesthetic. At the moment my plan is to read Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Haunted Palace,” but I might change that to really any poem by him or one of my own written in a similar style if it seems like that would be more interesting. Below is a sample video I made in lab that demonstrates the sort of soundscape/music I would use as well as slow cross fades between images to enhance the slow media feel. It was made with “The Haunted Palace in Mind”
Here are two models of the style of video/reading I’ll be attempting to emulate:
The title of my piece will probably just be the name of whichever poem I decide to read.
