This project required us to compose a 45-90 second video that would create a distinct mood or impression through incorporating at least 3 separate source videos and an audio track un-synced from its original video file.
For my video, I wanted to create an evolving, yet cyclical mood evoking initial tranquility followed by tension, then ending in a climax that is resolved by the return of tranquility. I tried to achieve this narrative through the use of celestial imagery found on Videezy.com (Royalty free video source), as well as psychedelic/ futuristic audio tracks found on Purple-planet.com (Royalty free music source). I believe the chosen clips and respective music tracks go well together, but I will continue to work on perfecting their transitions.
At this time, I am most concerned about the first video clip being appropriated too heavily. I am pleased with the way it builds tension and acts as a dramatic exposition aiding the video's intended mood. However, if it is determined that this first clip is indeed being appropriated too heavily, I will plan to search for additional video clips in order to break up the footage and add more variety.
