Abstract Video

Reflection to the "Water is Wide": 1. The story that we chose to go with the song was about the journey or cycle of a tree. It shows somewhat the life of the tree and how it goes through its days. The first part shows its early years as a seed sapling etc. Then it moves to thing it encounters such as a fear of being cut down and fire. Then it shows its great wisdom that comes with its age. And in the end it is burned/cut down and the cycle starts again. 2. I am most proud of the last sequence segment from about 3:05 to the end. We were trying to provoke the new and fresh start of life like the tree rings and the new sapling. The colors like the light coming off the tree ring seemed angelic and the color change in the spaling showed a transformation. 3. i would say all of it is abstract even the stills are abstract that didint have any change added to them. We knew that the mood had to be a certain way and used a variety of colors, shapes, etc. 4. I learned that you can tell a story with just abstract images. 5. I realized that the interaction between music and images is very unique it works great together and i didint expect it to. 6. My partner's most important contribtion was coming up with the basic idea of the story. 7. The most important contribution i made would have to be the effects that i put in the video it really helped out a lot.
