This was powerful!
Wow! The combination of the sound you chose (love Macbeth) and the images is really striking. I think your overall message about empires riding and falling, the cyclical nature of politics and world events, was clear. Your edits were timed so well to the beat. They felt natural and made sense in the overall flow of your piece. I particularly liked when you switched from b&w to color for the protest photos. Also, great job with the sound editing; the two pieces you chose fit together so seamlessly. Wonderful work Emily!
Hey Emily, the use of images and music is extremely powerful. Your theme is very clear even with the subtle images. The way the sun rises in some and sets in the others conveys a new day has begun and the cycle will repeat. The audio fits your short videos as it allows a large space in between each beat. The music was the right choice, as it helped deliver your overall message. Great job in selecting your images to enhance the meaning of the audio!
Hi Emily,
I enjoyed watching your video for ML6. Your use of images combined with the audio was very effective. The images enhanced the audio, and the change of the pictures coincided with the beat of the audio you used. This was effective in grabbing the audience’s attention. I enjoyed your use of modern images, contrasted with older pictures. The timing and pace of the audio with the photos was perfect and felt completely in-sync. Around the 40-second mark, you had the beat move fast with the images coinciding with that. But one of my favorite parts in your video was when you changed the image from black and white to color as the beat dropped. This was so creative and I loved how it changed the image completely and was timed perfectly. Great job on your video, it was creative and grabbed my attention throughout the entire video!
