My video can be found on YouTube.
Concept:
- Concepts> In 100 words/4 sentences, tell us how the video additions changed/added meaning or layers to your audio remix? Did you simply “describe” the audio with video or do you feel that your video choices added depth? Simply, did you do a TRUE remix of simply mash up “things” that existed in your audio remix?
I believe I did a true remix, because I think adding the video added more meaning and value than just the song did. With the song it was really just about trying to find your motivation and put it into action, and now with the video I think you can now see all the voices that are telling and pushing us to think all these things but with all of it being pushed on us its hard and can get confusing but we have to get past all the voices and find it in ourselves to accomplish and push through to what we want to achieve, and by the ending it shows that when we do that we we can accomplish anything.
Video/After Effects Form:
- How did you construct/compose/structure all the parts of your video? In other words, how did you synch you video to your audio? What was the over all “vibe” you were going for?
I tried to compile videos at the beginning that made it very confusing and stressful with hearing all these voices being thrown at you, but then it becomes videos about people who had their set of failures but managed to push past and find their own motivation to become huge successes, and then I complied videos that shows what happens when we do that ourselves we can accomplish great lengths.
- Following up on the above, what EDITING PACE/TIMING/STRATAGIES did you apply when considering the over all “vibe” of your audio remix?
I considered a fairly fast pace throughout the video because I feel like with the overall theme being motivation it wouldn’t make sense to be a slow pace.
- Briefly, where and how (and to what effect conceptually or formally) did you apply COLOR CORRECTIONS? How did you manipulate or change video clips or pictures? Choose 2-3 clips or generally where you used theses to discuss.
I applied color corrections to multiple parts for a lot of the people talking that went along with the audio I used curves and created color contrast. I used black and white a few times on the little’s boys seen to make it seem like the past.
- Briefly, where (and why, to what “effect”?) did you apply After Effects EFFECTS & PRESETS and filters? Or> If you used mostly “raw” (i.e. unchanged or modified) video or pictures, give us a good reason why you did not “manipulate” with the video clips?
I used animation effects to a few texts to add a pace to them as well, and the blur effect to the first image to add a confused feeling for the start of it. Some videos I did not manipulate because I felt by manipulating the ones that are left raw it would change their meaning too much, for the ones I left raw it is because I felt that the video already gave meaning to the video as a whole without being manipulated.
