we are being surveilled - it is so obvious

Katherine asked me if I could help her edit her Art major work, or rather, the video component thereof. I happily obliged. It is sort of interesting because it doesn't really have any direction or plot, or for that matter a reasonably large amount of footage. Nevertheless, it is sort of effective because what you're watching is a surveillance video, or rather a series of surveillance videos, so the idea that it's directionless sort of works.

There is an incredibly good shot of a very slow zoom in on a security camera. I don't know what it is about it that I like - the composition, I guess - it kind of looks like 16mm, and has that very deliberate, dramatic look of arthouse film. (Note that arthouse does not mean student or poorly made).
