4.5.2 Videowalk Filming

After completing the "found footage," the next step was integrating this material within the space. Initially isolated, these short videos needed to be woven into a coherent narrative via the videowalk. We opted for modern 16:9 filming with high-definition clarity and cinematic colors to contrast sharply with the archival aesthetic. This layer acted as the narrative "glue," blending the original with the fictitious.


Adhering to a specific spatial score, timing was crucial to ensure participants met at predetermined points, yet without losing their way. The found footage was complex and sometimes indistinct, while the 3D images posed their own navigational challenges. Hence, the videowalk was designed to be gentle, steady, and slow, serving as a narrative pause allowing participants to fully grasp the text. The meticulous detailing in timing was vital to accurately connect the videowalk scenes with the "found footage," a task that proved challenging during post-production due to the differing times and equipment used in recording.
