Performance Art Video (Title/Description)

Title: The Power of Music and Sound


Description:
I went to the gym with my boyfriend and recorded him working out.  I have seen countless motivational and inspiring workout videos and I realized it is the music and sound effects that add that extra emotion and impact on the viewer.  I wanted to show the power of sound effects and music and how much they impact a person's emotion as they are watching this video.  To put it into perspective, try to imagine this video or any other film of any type without sound effects or music and think about how different it would make you feel. 



What I want my audience to get out of my piece:
I hope that my video inspires others as it inspires me.  I hope that they will watch it and it will motivate them to continue to work towards their goals and always work for something instead of settling.  Most importantly I want my audience to realize the importance and effect that music and sound have on emphasizing a video.  Think about it, how weird and boring would it be if movies or TV shows didn't have any sort of music in it? It wouldn't have that same emotional effect.


Props/What I used and the reason for using/including them:

I actually used my camera and tripod for shooting the video because I wanted the quality of the video to be the best I could possibly make it.  My camera is a Canon G7x.  I also used IMovie to edit the clips when I downloaded them to my laptop because it is a good editing tool that is easy to maneuver.  The specific edits I used, such as slowing down or speeding up the video, was to emphasize the emotion or feeling I had in the moments I was recording it and also to go well with the music I put over it.  The song I used “Cruise” by Kygo, was used because I feel like whenever that song plays it makes me want to get in my car and drive or fly to a random place and explore it.
