VIDEOS

The project team realised that creating a range of videos was important to cater to various audiences and platforms. Three types of video categories were decided on – deep-listening videos, long-form videos, and social media videos.

‘Deep-listening’ videos drew parallels from immersive sound installations in that they intended to shift sensorial focus from the visual to the aural. These videos allowed viewers to immerse themselves in the stories and experience the project without visual distractions, conceptually aligning with how the cassettes would have initially been listened to.

‘Long-form’ videos were intended for display in exhibition settings and were typically more extended than the deep-listening videos. Shot by the filmmakers Ana Godinho de Matos and Olivia Brogan, these videos allowed viewers to experience the project more comprehensively, providing a deeper insight into the use of cassette tapes for long-distance audio messaging.

The social-media videos were designed to be shared on various online platforms and were consequently shorter in length, intending to quickly capture the many aspects of the project outputs.
