Video Progress

So yesterday me and phil were working on our project and we found some video that really inspired us and brought everything together. I think we are definatly going to be able to get this projec done this week which is great because i have other classes that I need to focus on.

Our Video is kind of about pollution of Air, Land and Water. We have used a mixture of still images and stock footage to bring it all together. The pase of the video starts out slow and then slowly picks up pace as it goes through. This kind of represents the rapid increase in pullution that is happening on this earth. Everything seems to be gaining speed rather than recovering. The ending of our video is the best though and I think it is what makes the video most effective. The last to pieces of footage are completely contrasting and are meant to kind of shock the viewer and make them think.

Our video starts with the sunrise and ends with the sun set. This represents time going by and the beginning and the end. The sunrising and setting is also a picturesque, beautiful, peaceful thing and helps to contrast from all the images of pollution. I guess the over all theme or question this video is asking is, How are we effecting the earth? and What are we leaving behind for our posterity?

The music that i think we are going to use is kind of peaceful but in the background there is something about the song that is kind of deeper and darker forshadowing something negative. It kind of has an epic feel to it and adds to the video, but also in some ways acts as a contrast. I think it will be very effective when we get it with our video.
