There are at least two major ways to think about the semiotics of images in sequence:

• Kuleshov effect: (A+B=C)
  in which the viewer attempts to create a greater narrative meaning (C) from the juxtaposition in sequence of two images (A,B)

• Metaphorical: (A:B as C:D)
  in which the viewerunderstands images in sequence as analogies for each other, pointing to some greater concept, pattern, or theme. (See Lev Manovich's Database as Symbolic Form)

We'll be exploring both of these options in the next few projects - the former in the Day in the Life project, and the latter in this project.

You are to create a very short video (no sound) that demonstrates an inventory approach to editing. We will be installing these videos for a few months as part of the information infrastructure of the new Siebel Center for Computer Science. They will play intermittently, at random, on the information panels that are spread throughout the building.

The goal of the project is to use metaphorical editing to provide the building's inhabitants with new ways of seeing familiar spaces, surfaces, and objects. Here are the admittedly narrow, but important requirements:

• your total edited work should last exactly 20 seconds.
• shoot all your video with your camera turned on the side, orienting the camera in a "portrait" orientation.
• shoot all your shots as either PANS or TILTS
• include in your video at least some material filmed within/of the Siebel Center.
• you may have as many or as few edits as you like, as long as you have at least one edit.

You may create more than one if you like, I'll put them all up on random play on the panels.
