My first experimental video exercise assigned by my mentor
Dana Levy will focus on my documentary about the Mizrahi family’s emigration
from Iran as a result of the Islamic Revolution of 1979. I'll place between 2
and 3 minutes of audio from the interviews I’ve done on a timeline in my
editing software and illustrate the story being told with old family photographs,
maps, postcards, as well as scanned objects. For example, I plan to scan the actual
chador Sharona wore to cover her hair
after the Islamic Revolution. Dana wrote that the end result could be more
interesting if the objects I use aren’t directly related to the story, but
illustrate it in some way. I started scavenging Ebay for old postcards and
other items that may be useful. I view this exercise as a puzzle where the
images and objects are the pieces that fit together to help make sense of the story.
I’m looking forward to thinking creatively and having fun with it!
