Hi Christina, wow this video was so poignant! Very effective and piercing at the end. The audio track you chose had that underwater ambience that fit so well with the theme. Your message came through loud and clear that the true terror of the ocean is that it’s being polluted and maligned through human neglect and carelessness. I noticed that the pacing was on the beat (or maybe ever so slightly behind the beat at first but then it caught up) and easy going at first with the beautiful photographs and then once the tides turned (no pun intended) and the more negative/challenging images began, the pacing was stepped up which was a great way to give a feeling of time ticking–like, we cannot delay on this issue (!) but then: “it’s not too late” at the end which was a perfect ending with a call to awareness and action to save our beautiful oceans and shorelines as well as the wildlife. I really loved this piece and the way it all came together. Nice job!!
Hello Christina!
Your video presentation was extremely powerful and had a clear theme of the “true terror of the ocean”, being pollution. My take-away from your video was that it came across subtly throughout, but also smoothly transitioned from the beautiful ocean scenery to the devastating effects ocean pollution.
Your images enhanced the meaning of the audio, as the words from the audio you chose matched the meaning of many of the images. E.g. “Forest at the bottom of the sea” and “The ailment of the swimmers” etc. This made the video interesting and thought-provoking, in my opinion. I also appreciated the last image of the hand and its message.
Great job on the timing and pacing of the edits, they most definitely corresponded well to the rhythm of the audio.
