Thanks for sharing your work, I think your piece had some powerful messaging behind it. I really liked how you combined the spoken word elements with the backing track, with this assignment needing to be a minute long, to me it creates this feeling like the audio is from the opening of a punk rock song, very cool, and very apt thematically given your topic and focus on human rights. The argument is very clear, that as a human society when we turn towards indifference that is when these major human rights issues we see in the news all the time now begin to pop up and worsen, so it is important to not be indifferent. The images you included fit very well, especially with how timely they are. I also think they were timed well, and had a nice variance in when they appeared/how long they were on screen for.
Hello, I think this was a nicely done video focusing on human rights and how commonplace it has become to see brutality through our phone screens. I liked the repetition of the word “indifference” within the spoken word piece as well as the reoccurring images of people looking at their phones to drive this point home. I think your images were timed well to the beat of the song, which I found to be the most challenging part of this assignment. Great job!
Hi Troy! Interesting video! I didn’t expect the spoken words element rather than singing! Because of the spoken words, I felt like there was a very clear and overt argument in this piece. I would say the message is that indifference to others in the world around us is bad, if not dangerous. I felt like the visuals aided and enhanced the audio, though the audio is also able to stand on its own. I will say that I felt like there were some references that I didn’t entirely understand (but I also don’t watch the news too often), like the smaller images that pop up around 0:39. I also found it a bit difficult to tell if the visuals aligned with the rhythm since I found it harder to determine the rhythm with the spoken-word audio. But, I will say that the pacing didn’t feel wrong or awkward at all to me.
