With recontextualisation of footage potentially being key to my project I thought I'd include some examples of materials where this is done well. They're mostly short internet videos and comedy-orientated but still relevant I think-
I've made progress in ripping DVD's in a high def format, which can now be used for more conceptual editing attempts.. I've also reduced the audio tracks from 4-6 to just normal stereo.
I also took ideas from Mike Dawson's analysis of the first 10 minutes of the 2005 film Serenity, in which an expositionary video is revealed as a classroom which is in turn a dream, which is a security recording. It sounds convoluted but until you actually think about the structure it seems natural and reveals a great deal of the overall backstory for the film in a short period. Whilst I'm probably not using it as an overall plot there is thematic significance that I can reveal by my choices at each stage.
