As a preface, this video shows a rock in New York City often referred to as “C Rock”. People actually jump off of this rock and the jumps vary anywhere from 15 feet to 110 feet. Although I have jumped off of this rock, I have not jumped anywhere past 55 feet. With that being said, cliff jumping is an adrenaline rush for me as it should be for anyone else that does it. That is why I have referred to my project as an adrenaline rush. By including audio such as boarding the train from my local train station, audio from jumping off of the cliff and including the song “Jungle”, I was conveying this adrenaline rush quite like a book. I was able to manipulate the audio and include key photos that conveyed the exposition, rising action and climax of what cliff jumping off of C Rock is like. I enjoyed every part of making this project and did not dislike this process at all. Although the article in the New York Times talked about “If the prices of traditional media keep falling, then it seems logical to critics that we will end up in a world in which no one has an economic incentive to follow creative passions”, I thought of a line that was used earlier and reflected on it differently. When the article talked about “the countless hours of YouTube videos your kids watch each week” I thought about how I too was one of these kids addicted to YouTube. This is because of how long and strung out videos are in order to convey a certain emotion for the viewer. Instead of wasting people’s time, I thought by making this project, I would not only give viewers an adrenaline rush but not waste their time.
