Video Browser Assignment

Using the video that you shot for the last assignment, design a browser for your video.

In designing your browser, incorporate a number of ways of traversing the video. For instance, what is the most efficient or compact way to represent the content? Are these the same? Can you summarize with the process in stills only? What do you lose/gain in such a reduction? Can your representation create a trailer? Can your representation create a layout (graphically) which conveys connections between segments? How does the user query the browser? How can you get to a specific shot? Can you tell a story from the perspective of different objects in the video? ie: in the case of the sneaker video, what would happen if you put together all the segments which high-light the laces? what about the story of the left foot? Can a browser make a trace of all segments which have similar graphical composition? similar camera motion?

Keep a journal of your thoughts and decisions. As before, these should be kept on an individual, not on a group, basis, although your journal should of course reference the collaborative decision making process.
