For a university project, we were asked to devise a a video and motion graphics response to a section of Verdi's Requieum. This project consists of three tasks.
 
Task One: To come up with your own response to the music using found or your own footage. 
Task Two: To come up with your own response using typography as your main medium. 
Task Three: Graphic notation. Create a poster or video using the power of shapes and/or symbols to devise a response to Verdi's Requiem. 
 
The photographs and screenshots below show the video response (task one). With the section of the Verdi's Requiem track I had been given, which is quiet and consistent, only peaking slightly at one point, I saw the solitude of the track as a form of decay, as it gradually builds up towards the death of something or someone. I wanted to convey this through time; by animating a series long exposure shots taken by the ancient, crumbling clifftops at Botany Bay in Broadstairs. Through using stop motion animation, the photographs were then imported as a JPEG sequence inside of After Effects and were animated at ten frames per second. The photographs and video below show the result.
