Today I learned about relationships. Images are connected via various characteristics including value, color, and hue. These kind of relationships can be used to relate pictures to one another in order to create a successful video, abstract or not. 

Today I learned about transitions. Whether a video is accompanied by sound or not, transition are key to creating a smooth and interesting video that makes sense, even if the subject matter does not. 

Today I learned that these kinds of abstract videos can be used to create controversy. DJ Spooky used a movie that was incredibly controversial when it came out, and combined and distorted it in a way to create a whole new way to look at the movie. It was the same movie but used in a different setting to create a different kind of feeling.
