SUMMARY:A Diary of Windows Video Deadline
DESCRIPTION:Concept \nThe idea began from a conversation with Steve about doing something digital and collaborative during the lockdown that is open to the entire squad. I then began to think about how we\, as a group of writers dispersed across the planet\, could make a collective creative response to our very different\, yet very similar situations. This led me to an idea for a video diary piece that uses a format inspired by Christian Marclay’s 24-hour artwork “The Clock”. For those of you who don’t know it – it is a montage of film and television clips that have clocks in them that is ordered chronologically over a day. Then\, at the squad’s first Distance Social meeting last week\, we discussed how the small things we observe around us might be more interesting as a subject for our writing than the virus. At the same zoom meeting Louise Essex also commented that “We all have windows.” The concept for A Diary of Windows and Small Things is based on a combination of these three ideas. \nContribution Guidelines \nI am inviting each of you to create a short piece of observational writing (in any form that you choose). This writing should then be recorded as a voice over in a one minute video of the view from your window. Each piece will be made a particular time of day that is assigned at random and should be accompanied by a 5 second video clip of a clock that shows your assigned time of day. I will combine the contributions into a single film that will be published online through the Squad’s existing (and planned) digital channels. \nIf you’d like to take part\, then please email me at stevie@stevieronnie.com by Tuesday 7th April. I will then allocate everyone with a specific time of day at random. \nYou will then have until Friday the 17th of April to send me the following two videos (via wetransfer\, dropbox or similar): \n(1) A 5 second clip of a clock showing your allocated time of day and; \n(2) A 1-minute shot of the view from your window which includes audio of you reading your short piece of observational writing. \nThe videos should be shot using a mobile phone in landscape format at the specific time of day that you have been allocated. I will be at hand to assist with any technical queries throughout. \nStevie Ronnie\nSquad Core Team
