In this workshop we were introduced to a new type of poetry called Haikus. We were given the choice of three haikus to make an edit on using stock footage and sound clips from online. I decided to choose a haiku that was written by Matsuo BashÅ, which said the following:
"No one travels
Along this way but I,
This autumn evening."
I chose to do this haiku amongst the other two because I really liked the idea of making something based on what I thought about autumn, which is my favourite season, which the haiku itself mentions. When making this edit, I was thinking about all the things I associate and do in the autumn. For example, going on nature walks with my family, roasting marshmallows on an open fire, conkers and the list goes on. I wanted to try to include as much as I could in this edit, however, because of our timeframe of 2 hours, I didn't get everything I wanted in my edit.
But I was really proud of the music that I sourced from YouTube, that was copyright free, as it made the whole minute of the edit seem very nostalgic. I also wanted to add the colour orange in as much as I could because I associate the colour orange with autumn as it reminds me of the colours of the autumn trees, much like what I included in my final edit. If I had more time to edit this haiku, I would have found some clips of roasting marshmallows on an open fire and conkers falling from the trees to give more of an autumn vibe.
In comparison to my classmates's Haiku edits, there was a lot of different interpretations for the selection of Haiku's we were given. However, some of my classmates that did the same Haiku as myself took it in a dark and mysterious way which I really liked because it showed how everyone has different feelings of walking alone in the woods and the difference in everyone's imagination when it comes to creating short edits in a very short timeframe of two hours.
