Scratch Video
Scratch video is a short film making technique which is consists of using footage found from the internet, recording it, and then re-editing it into a sequence that carries a message. ‘Artists are often able to “make a statement” in many cases a political or personal viewpoint’.
The movement of ‘Scratch Videos’ started in 1980. Under the influence of American film maker Dara Birnbaum. Her best known piece of work was the ‘Technology/Transformation: Wonder Woman’ video she created in 1978. The way that it uses a repetition of the clips, with a kind of rough feel about, were a couple of ways that Scratch Video came into the picture of film.
We had to create our own Scratch videos, surrounding a subject that we were either for or against. The video had to represent our point of view towards this subject. Working together with Michelle we decided to create a video surrounding our opinion against Environmental Issues. By this we mean animal cruelty issues like poaching, animal testing for cosmetics and the environment destroyer - deforestation.
