My takeaways from this video are that coal miners have rights and want better working conditions. This video sends a very clear message throughout the video of what the effects of working in the coal mines do to workers. I think that this paired pretty well with the audio and could be seen as a long term effects now that it is 2025. The beats paired pretty well with the audio images and I didn’t notice any delays in the sounds with the flipping of the pictures.
The video matched the melody well. I’ve noticed many postings about the world, nature, climate, and less about a group of people (so far). It’s important to remember groups of people and how what they’re doing provides us with certain things that we take advantage of and makes them susceptible to a range of health problems. Thanks for sharing it. Perhaps, it was close to home for you.
