Hello Aedan! So I believe the point of your video was to display groups protesting for their rights. Specifically labor or workers rights? The messaging got a little unclear with various images, but I did notice reoccurring photos showed the words “labor” or “workers unite” on the signage held. I had a hard time determining what beat you were changing photos on, and it seemed like some may have been off a little bit. I think some additional photos and maybe some text would have enhanced your video/messaging. There was also no spoken word in the audio used as well, which would have helped the messaging.
Hey Aedan! Your video appears to focus on groups protesting for workers’ or labor rights. This theme comes through in images showing signs with phrases like ‘Boycott’ or ‘Labor Rights’. However, the overall message becomes somewhat unclear at times because the images vary widely, making the central idea harder to follow. Adding more focused images or brief on-screen text could strengthen the theme. Some protest images effectively supported the topic, but a few visuals felt less connected and slightly distracting. The pacing of the edits also seemed a bit off from the rhythm of the music, with some image changes not aligning with the beat. Also, including narration or spoken audio might help clarify the message and make the video’s purpose more obvious. Overall, I think you still did a good job with the assignment.
