For the beginning of this project I feel that since I do not know much about video art and haven't really worked with it too much that it would be most beneficial and give me more of a mind set to work with it by just watching some pieces of video art. I spent most of the time this week on flavorwire and bomb magazine just so I could have more of a base of what the videos turn out to be, how they capture work, how it's framed, and any other details that I might have been able to pick up on that I wouldn't have initially thought of myself.
I've realized after watching some different videos that I tended to be drawn to the videos that either have such a minimal about of things happening that it makes a viewer really try and figure out what is happening and why or makes them make their own connections and inferences. Or I really liked videos were there was an obscene amount of movement or noise or involvement happening where they viewer would have to decipher what the point is or what part of happening is most important or the main idea. When a video was extremely clear of what is happening and why its happening was when I felt that it was very plain. I found that there are so many more opportunities to manipulate the final piece of a video before it is seen. Now that I have more of an idea of how to possibly capture video footage and what it would be in final I think that looking into the history and upcoming of video art would help me understanding the essence of video art and the impact it can have which I think is now of the most important part of creating art.
