Rythmic Edits

When I first saw that our next project was going to be rhythmic edits I had a different idea in mind. I thought that the project would be one where we edit the image to change with the beat of a sound. Something that flowed smoothly together as a piece. I also wasn't expecting to be filming for this project. I thought that we would be using found footage. The idea I had in my head was similar to the video below.

After watching the clips today it reminded me of the news segment where people take footage and edit them together in a new way to evoke a new feeling. These are personally some of my favorite types of videos on YouTube and are the reason I want to do more editing. The artists are able to put together pieces from multiple episodes from a television show and tell the story of how a character how transformed and changed throughout time. So many of these are so breathtaking and emotion provoking that I end up losing time going through recommendations of videos to watch.

However, seeing as this is not how we are necessarily doing our project I am still excited to see how they turn out. Natalie and I have some ideas but hopefully the storm doesn't ruin our changes of getting the shooting done the way that we want. As a photographer I did enjoy watching the video with the dog due to the use of natural lighting and the use of angles the filmmaker used.  I also enjoyed the use of black and white used in the skateboarding video. I always feel that black and white is able to tell a story a different way than color can. I just wish that there might have been more contrast in the brightness of it.
