This was an interesting process
that actually revealed more about my artistic personality than I thought. My
video is my regular morning routine, (which I cropped down a little for
interest). Then I videotaped myself coming home from the day as well, because I
thought walking up and down the stairs looked cool mostly. Then as I was
editing the sound I somehow turned my daily routine into a melodramatic
suspense soundtrack, which makes me question my sanity. But I think it sounded
really cool, despite the possibly disturbing meaning behind it. When I added
the video to it, I didn’t think the plain in color video did the overly
dramatic music justice, so I added the blue filter. Then I cut out some of the
in-between footage so it seemed choppier. I think this added to the suspense
and overall creepiness. In the end, I think that most of my decisions were the
result of the happy accident that I like to make creepy music. Once I made the
soundtrack I knew what type of video I wanted an deliberately made it that way.
This was a fun experience because making music is not something I usually get
to do, and it was nice to do it in such a creative way. I think my final piece portrays a “What the
heck” emotion, sort of a state of confusion and dislike. I know that doesn’t sound
like a good emotion to have a piece portray, but I like it.
