Funny the way some people film tv programmes.
Then they upload them to Youtube.
This one here is an excerpt from a comedy called Time Trumpet.
Timetrumpet cuts and splices bits of political footage for comic effect.
In the one I have selected here we see My Little Tony and David WebCameron performing Bowie’s song ‘Changes’.
Apart from this being FUNNY I think that the whole process, which began with political speeches, followed by a filming of them and editing; followed by cutting and splicing from those films; followed by a selected clip filmed using a video camera and a tv; being uploaded to YouTube and being placed alongside other texts - amateur and professional; then I upload it to my blog.
Interesting to look at the provenance of a text as well as the text itself; and I think that digital texts frequently have a fascinating provenance as it is so easy to replicate them and put them in new contexts so that new meanings evolve.
