Desert Hearts Montreal dreaming (video essay exercise)

Desert Hearts Montreal dreaming (video essay exercise)

Made at Middlebury video essay camp (Scholarship in Sound and Image Workshop on Videographic Criticism) June 2022

Voice Over exercise: select a continuous video sequence from a media object—3-minute max, can manipulate clip’s duration—and tell a story over it.

I used a dream I had on my phone as part of another project (Sociability of Sleep residency) in which I record my dream as soon as I wake up as voice over here, as I was happy with the ‘lip flap’ coincidence that happened when I started editing with it and adjusted the dream to fit this section of Desert Hearts, which I reversed.

Thank you Christian Keathley, Jason Mittell, Will DiGravio, and Ethan Murphy, and the 2022 Middlebury cohort: Colleen, Daniel, Desiree, Laura, Lucy, Nila, Vika, Jeff, Andrew, Pablo, Sadia, Joel, Allison, and Alison!!
