Hey Nicole, I really like the video. The images really emphasized the lyrics of the music. I especially like the recurring image of the guy skiing and how you changed its positioning throughout the video. I’m not great with rhythm, but from what I can tell, the transitions were well done. I felt the camera work was also well done, with how you managed the pans and zooms. Wait a minute, you and Alyssa chose the same song? That is hilarious.
Hi Nicole, I found your pairing of music and images to be playful and amusing. I think you really nailed the timing as the images correspond well to the beat of the music. I would be interested to hear more about the story behind this video. From what I gathered this is about sleep paralysis given the demonic imagery, sleeping subjects, and the phrase “get up”. I really enjoyed your video and look forward to seeing your final project!
Hi Nicole! Wow, it’s so funny that we used the same song. I am glad that we used slightly different versions though, and that we took very different approaches to interpreting it. It took me a few watches to decipher the meaning of the video, so I would say it’s more subtle. I got the impression it was about facing your demons/monsters, though I could be wrong. I think the images definitely reinterpret the meaning of the audio, and add a new layer to the audio that isn’t there on its own. I liked how you repeated certain images, it made the piece feel more focused and also added emphasis to those specific images. I also felt like there were a few moments where the image shifts didn’t quite match with where I expected, but I didn’t dislike it.
