Surreal Editing.

This is a video we found when looking for surreal editing techniques which depicted what we already had in mind. This video includes the technique of speeding up footage so that the outcome looks like an explosion of movement, being manic and quite disturbing in the way that it is so eratic and unrealistic. This can be done by either taking photos of the subject with their head positioned in different angles and then putting it all together at a fast speed, or filming the subject moving from each position so all that is done is speeding the footage up in the editing process.

Another techinique in this video that we found interesting and peculiar was the strange way the subjects walked, seeming quite demented and unsettling. We think that this was done by filming the subject walking backwards and then when editing, the footage was then reversed so they appear to be walking forwards. The reason for the walking to appear unnatural is because of the way their weight is balanced through walking backwards however it doesn't look normal to us because the editing makes them appear to be walking forwards.
