1. Does the video maintain continuity by editing for graphical and rhythmical relationships to create successful transitions among different image frames? Give examples of this using a minimum of 5 screen shots that move us from frame to frame. Provide a written description with consideration of at least 3 of the following:
This shot above is the first frame present in the video. This frame acts as a contrast for the frame below as the video transitions from this frame above to the frame below.
This frame is after the one above (as mentioned before) it resembles a change and an increase in amplitude in the piece. This also sets the scene as many of the images in the abstract video are distorted and edited.
This picture of inside the washing machine drum is flickered with the color distored image above. The flickering is a graphical representation of how the music in the video is rhythmically performing.
In the piece above are one of four images that use the Ken Burns effect to focus in or pull away to match the rhythm
Finally here is another example of a Ken Burns effected image. In the video and in this frame the camera zooms out appearing to be walking away or backing up.
All of the pictures seem to posses an element of yellow, white and some sort of light beige (cement coloring). This allows there to be a connection between the pictures even though they do not necessarily connect in context.
The shots in the video that use the Ken Burns effect are very effective in connecting the picture and the sound aspect of the assignment. However, the middle portion of the video had clear connections between sound and the images but the changing of the pictures was not as effective. I believe that if the pictures flickered a little more to the ambient sounds it would have been more effective.
Finally I believe that the piece has a good amount of image exposure. For all of the images Emily used there was not one image that was over-used or under used, this also allowed for another element of balance.
2. Does the video include non-linear structures (i.e. structures other than linear narrative)? These might include acausal structure, list structure, and cyclical/circular structure? Please describe the structures within the video.
The piece contains a list structure repeating similar images. The images in the piece are all paired with different particular sounds. When those sounds are played they are always paired with same image, creating the list structure. There is one sound like a "dunnnngggg" and Emily used a Ken Burns effect to appear as if the audience is moving in the picture. She repeats this with a few of her images, this repetition of effects is also an example of list structure. It can be seen at the frame below. 
3. Does the video modulate in pace so that it has sections of slow and fast time? Please describe this in terms of constancy and variation over the course of the entire work.
At the beginning of the piece the sound is slow as if it was transitioning into a faster pace and Emily illustrates this very well by changing the effect on her first frame. This adaptation makes us feel like there is a transition similar to the music which is transitioning. The next frames are flickered like to represent the background sound which allows the viewer to visually see the speed up in the music. Emily does a good job of showing the changes of pace in the piece as there are many variations in her music choice. She creates a sense of structure throughout the piece by using the same images with their paired sounds. Therefore, even if the piece speeds up or slows down it is easy to follow visually.
4.How does the artist break patterns to avoid monotony? Give an example.
The images in themselves are similar but different in what they represent. This alone creates something that is visually appealing and interesting. When creating projects like this it is tempting to choose images that all tell a story or have something in common. However, the fact that Emily's pictures do not all fall in the same category allows her to avoid the problem of monotony in her piece, so therefore even though the images all represent a sound it feels like they are all different.
