Ever since I could remember, I have been fascinated with the possibility of life on planets other than Earth. This is what inspired me to choose this topic for my final video project. Throughout the video I combine the use of found footage, news reel, and special effects to make the viewer reconsider the possibility of "Life Beyond The Stars." I chose the song "Consuela" by producer ICYTWAT because his music has a ethereal, space-inspired vibe that I felt would pair very well with the visuals that I chose for the final project. I hope after viewing my short video it will spark your interest in looking to other planets and galaxies in the future. Thank You Click This Link To Watch My Video Please
Movements: Industrial Hip Hop/Horrorcore: Ho99o9 I chose the hip hop group Ho9909 (pronounced Horror) because they combine hip hop with a traditionally aggressive hardcore punk sound palette. I believe that their work (such as United States of Horror) really blurs the line between genres by incorporating various elements to make their music. I consider that their work fits with electronic music because of their use of various computer-generated sounds (i.e. distorted programmed bass lines), and the use of both traditional live instruments (drums, guitar). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7saY1yWyWbc Post-Punk: IDLES I chose the British post-punk band IDLES because I had heard their song Danny Nedelko from their 2018 album Joy as an Act of Resistance. I consider that their work represents the modern take on punk music, and fits with technology because of the use spacious synth-bass sounds on the epic Colossus (from the same album). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkF_G
