Marquee Survivals: A Multimodal Historiography of Cinema's Recycled Spaces

Prototype 1. Semantic Video Remix/ Trailer

This experiment with annotation and a video trailer constitutes one of the earliest experiments associated with this project. While a quality of remix is obvious in the sampling of an archive of clips featuring South Broadway as a background location, remix also determined the very form the experiment takes. Borrowing a template from Jonathan McIntosh, this annotated remix trailer explored one approach for displaying sources, expanding the possibilities of citation in connecting disparate networked materials. The use of Popcorn.js, an HTML5 javascript library allows the annotation to unfold in real time which gives the video a dynamic quality. Video and media annotation has since been incorporated into the Scalar platform and is used in the Scalar project you are currently reading.
