Symphonic Action

1. The story we tried to envoke in this video is that a boy has a dream. At first it starts out calm and melancholy and then turns slightly happier. We chose to place some of the band clips in the video just to show who is playing. As the tension rises we showed more images abstractly to convey excitement. When the rhythm stops the music turned somber and sad. As the music builds into the same rhythm in the beginning it turns melancholy and decided to stop showing more images. 2. The sequence that I choose is from 1:15-1:45. We tried to show that the boy is dreaming of becoming a baseball player. There was no particular choice in color just that to make seem mysterious and full of wonder. Taking consideration of color I feel that we used soothing colors to show some peace and tranquility within the video. 3. I believe that at least 35% of the video is abstract. There was no consistency of color because we wanted to have all the colors of the spectrum, not just one. 4. What I remember of using abstract images in films is that it gets the audience thinking about a certain theme. 5. I learned that music has to properly interact with images because they need to work together to convey the right message towards the video 6. The most important contribution my partner made was consulting me in the arrangement of the images and clips. 7. The most important contribution I made was editing the video together and applying special effects.
