Project 4

While doing this project I had wanted to make it as uplifting and happy as possible. Those two emotions was what I was going for when I created this video. The inspiration started with the sound I had created in Audacity in Lab 7. I realized that I could do something with its upbeat tone. The sound itself makes you almost smile. The footage I chose and created were things I had collected over time either just before quarantine or during quarantine. First, I took some photos of the trees and lamp post in my yard in front or behind of the sun. I thought I could play around with the light and see what I could come up with. Aside from that, I had a couple of still videos showing trees and wind coming in. In order to show some happy emotion you always have to have people dancing, so I added a video of my friends and I dancing at a retreat we work at for young high schoolers. I feel like I took a different approach to this final project with the images I chose. I would have loved to have gone out and taken pictures of the city and strangers, but realized the amount of content I had in my own backyard and bubble. Looking at the article from the New York Times, I learned how crazy it is now in the world that we have so much content that is absolutely free to us. All we can do if we wanted is consume consume consume and learn from what we watch.
