Abstract
The question of the interpretive capabilities of video poetry is one of the most interesting in relation to this phenomenon of media culture. Creating video clips becomes a way to update poetic works and distribute them on the Internet. However, the process of creating a video clip itself is an active interpretation which is necessary to adequately read the text, select music, ambient noise, and create a video sequence. The reader's interpretation is already manifested at the level of choosing a work and selecting its fragments for visualization. The reader's perception of poetic texts, more related to specific political events than to universal human issues is especially interesting. It seems that creating a reader's clip-illustration for such texts is a more difficult task. This article considers video clips for poems by Georg Weert, Jean Baptiste Clement, Eugene Potier. All the texts proposed to readers for creating video clips-illustrations are written in connection with the revolutionary events of the 19th century. The article notes different approaches to voice acting and visualization of poetic text. The reviewed clips contain voiceover voice acting by the author's voice, voice bot, theatrical reading by roles, singing. A montage of stock photos and videos which more or less reflect the text, original illustrations created by the author of the clip, or the appearance of he author of the clip in the frame (recitation, singing) is used as a video sequence. Versions of the reader's interpretation are based primarily on the visual component. Voice acting becomes significant if the video sequence does not illustrate the text fully and adequately enough.
