I want to work with this audio, because when I first heard it, it generated a very strong feeling for me personally as well as people that I have shown it to. protests have made me personally feel better under the current circumstances as a tool to process loss as well as feeling like I am adding to a cause. working on projects such as this will further more increase these feelings for me. furthermore, this is an opportunity for me to work with a cinematic video style and experiment with different styles to emphasize a feeling (be it longing or memory etc). this is important as these are themes that i work with. A big part of my interests is (but not limited to): preserving memory, senses of home, migration and diaspora, the subconciousness, community, nostalgia and decolonization. Some of these themes have occurred in my previous work as well. This interest is currently even bigger as I hope to inform, humanize and spread a hopeful message. | I want to work with this audio, because when I first heard it, it generated a very strong feeling for me personally as well as people that I have shown it to. protests have made me personally feel better under the current circumstances as a tool to process loss as well as feeling like I am adding to a cause. working on projects such as this will further more increase these feelings for me. furthermore, this is an opportunity for me to work with a cinematic video style and experiment with different styles to emphasize a feeling (be it longing or memory etc). this is important as these are themes that i work with.

I recorded an audio at a Palestine protest. I am trying to identify the different steps/emotions/themes/sounds/phases that can be heard throughout. I then want to use this audio as a basis of a visual story. The powerful audio will overlay on different visuals. By doing so two worlds of protests (audio) and another one (visual) will be merged together. I am not sure yet what this other world will be. Maybe it will be in someone's head, maybe it will be a memory of someone maybe its a generational/ancestral communication bleeding through current times or a longing for something/someone. I will start by listening to the audio and identifying the sounds. I am doing this by categorizing it in: chanting, conversations and sounds. This is transcripted. based on the conversations or/and sounds, I have to come up with visuals that it can overlay with. Currently I am unsure what these visuals will be. The goal is to tell a story of resistance and resilience.
I want to work with this audio, because when I first heard it, it generated a very strong feeling for me personally as well as people that I have shown it to. protests have made me personally feel better under the current circumstances as a tool to process loss as well as feeling like I am adding to a cause. working on projects such as this will further more increase these feelings for me. furthermore, this is an opportunity for me to work with a cinematic video style and experiment with different styles to emphasize a feeling (be it longing or memory etc). this is important as these are themes that i work with. A big part of my interests is (but not limited to): preserving memory, senses of home, migration and diaspora, the subconciousness, community, nostalgia and decolonization. Some of these themes have occurred in my previous work as well. This interest is currently even bigger as I hope to inform, humanize and spread a hopeful message.
quick summary of the audio:
in the beginning energy is high, people are chanting, beat on drums, and almost want to dance. raspy voices from screaming all day add to the sensation of emotions being high.
slowly making transition into the next phase → when u hear the sounds of drones coming and people saying look at the drone.
harder to hear words through shitty microphone, but chanting continues
becomes quiet.
daily conversations can be heard through the protests.
attention is being called through the megaphone as communication with police is happening. no more sound is allowed. a slight hint of panic is heard.
the presence of media becomes clear as well as the police, the voice note end with the sounds of the barricade being built, someone being cold, and someone looking for a megaphone.
