These were our initial montage ideas -greatly inspired by the opening sequence of 'Gattaca'. Although we did not use all of these ideas, it was important to us that we built up a basis and ambiance for the montage. The main message we wanted to convey was the closure of media outlets and government intervention.
To begin editing we required audio which would create a structure to the montage and hopefully set up the landscape of the social stage within our narrative.
Our first base for research was YouTube where we searched a variety of key words eg. 'Freedom of speech', 'war', 'media impact', 'social networking debate','riots', 'terrorism', 'protests' and 'patriotism' to build a picture of the scenario within our narrative.
Below are our initial transcripts and links to the videos we took them from. Our manipulation of the resources online highlights the ease with which audio and images can be taken out of context and made to represent or symbolise something very different. This gives the media a great deal of power and creates, to a certain extent, fear, which is something we found during the casting of our Prime Minister figure.Initial Montage Audio Transcript:
