Hey Jonathan! Great job timing your edits to the beats, your pacing felt balanced. My understanding of the point of your video is that it’s a rebellion against the rat race. The images showing the grind of modern life, with people constantly glued to technology expending all their energy, with the audio saying “I refuse to run” presenting the opposite attitude, created an easily interpretable juxtaposition. The consistency of your images helped drive this point home, since many of them showed people who looked stressed or dazed were on their phones, computers, or in crowded spaces. Nice work!
Hey Jonathan! The images you chose worked well together to tell a story of overcoming the modern day struggle. Specifically, images of escaping through technology contrasted well with glimpses of living in the real world. Paired with your audio choice, the lyrics that stood out most were “I can’t run from the truth.” All of your photo transitions were well-timed to the lyrics and beat. Good job!
Hi Jonathan! I liked how you started with one idea of people consumed by technology and work, not truly living in the world. Then you transition to photos of people out in the world, not glued to a desk or technology. These photos contrast with the earlier photos of people with their faces in a screen, sitting or lying down, disconnected and stressed. In contrast, the later photos show people outside walking and biking or going to places such as a cafe. I would like more photos showing people living to drive home that idea, such as them socializing and laughing, more photos of them being active, such as running, yoga, at the beach, and doing enjoyable things that don’t require a screen or cause stress. All your photos went with the beat and flowed well.
