The theme for this song centered around the future and the caution surrounding it. I decided this would be a great way to highlight women’s rights. Women are the back bone for this world, we are the only set of humans that can create and give life and yet we don’t even have the ability to make choices for ourselves when it comes to our bodies, respect, and how we’re treated in positions of power. I chose to start off with an older depiction of what women looked like in the earliest years and then getting more and more into modern day. As the song began to talk more about the future I ended the depiction of women with a picture of a little girl staring at the Lincoln monument because she will be the next generation of women. This assignment for me was meant to show how women are always fighting for the same freedoms and liberties that men posses and that equality should not be optional.

Well done! Very clear message. I like the progression of time through the art and photographs. Great use of the quote by Ford. I think you may have needed a bit more a the end. The pacing slowed then stopped completely as the music was at a hard hitting, could have been a very poignant moment I think if there had been some good visuals there. I did like the line that came across at the end though, they way initiated was unexpected and drove the point home. Overall, well done and well planned out.
Hello Justyce! I really liked your video, the imagery you chose was impactful and the overall message was extremely clear. I think the tempo of the images was appropriate – while it was a little slower I think it needed to be due to there being a lot to take in for each photo – if it rushed through them the viewer wouldn’t be able to process the images in time. While the ending slowed down a bit visually, it was probably necessary due to the text. You gave the viewer enough time to read the quotes. I really liked the title page, but it could have been even more successful with a little bit more space near the bottom. Videos typically have a time bar that can sometimes visually cut off the bottom of the frame making it difficult to read the bottom part of the title page. Overall great video and clear message!
