DREAMS (FINAL)

1) the overall theme of my video is clearly in the title, Dreams. The song has a constant build up but never truly a peak. I made this purposely because the concept is that we are constantly chasing our dreams. Whether or not if we achieved our dreams or not, we will eventually chase after yet another. I remixed the song but not the video. The video was as the song was, constant stepping stones but it never reveals the end or “peak” because I am still chasing after my dreams

2) Well, my song kept lagging (slowing down) my whole production of the video but I took an interesting path. Instead of making the video to the song, I listened to the song as I made the video. SImply, it was inspired by the song.

3) The overall vibe of my video is almost a day to day of my life but in a vintage fashion.

4) There is color correction through out 100% of the video. I made the whole filter from scratch.

5)for effects, I used lens flares and simple subtle transitions.

6) The fact that it was all self-shot, it all complimented itself. The video was overall clean and very aesthetically appealing.

7) I had obvious issues (in my opinion.) The song was awkward with the video (since I didn’t make it FOR the song but rather INSPIRED by it). The shots also turned out to be fast paced when I expected it to be like the same pace as Adobe AE. I also forgot to put a grainy filter and add the indian TV warning, which I added

DREAMS (FINALIZED)

Critique:

1. Briefly discuss the successful elements of your work (both in form and content). What parts are working well? (You can base these thoughts on the feedback received at the critique)

Talking to my friends, they said there was a pretty good build up but there seemed to be things missing at the peak. The song overall kept the same pace through the whole thing. In my personal opinion, I enjoy my music like that so that is how I will make my sound.

2. Briefly discuss the elements that could be better in your work. List the things you need to improve/fix/change/work on to improve the work? (You can base these thoughts on the feedback received at the critique)

Like above, lacks a peak. I wish I could have played with higher pitches but the song seemed to lose the “Chill” focus when I tried it. There was also a huge skips between speeches so in order to fix that, I threw in some more 808s along with more dialogue from Shia’s motivational speech. I also noticed some distortion in the first version’s voices so I fixed that. :)

3. Bonus points!> Discuss any additional research you did beyond the classroom. Provide us links if possible and a very brief response to each.

I didn’t do much, but I did use Audacity (an audio program) to strip background noise from voice files. I also stumbled across a video that showed basic moves on garageband (that actually taught me how to change the pitches and EQ on things to make it sound cooler)
