FINAL - VIDEO DECONSTRUCTION - LIFE BEYOND THE STARS

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.

    I agree with you. I totally believe that there is people living on other planets than just Earth. This video just further helped me prove my point. All of the evidence you gathered for the video really drove your point that you were trying to prove that life does exist not just on Earth. Good job with the video

Blog Post - B5 (Music Movements)

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/watc...

A6 - Performance Art

Chris Burden (Shot in the Name of Art) Blue Man Group  Pyotr Pavlensky (Sewed Mouth Closed) I chose these three performance artists because I found that to me they had several qualities in common. When you watch a performance art piece by these men, it arouses a strong first reaction in your mind, and pushes you to really question if what you are watching is truly art. I believe that the fact that their performance can bring you to question and explore their work makes what they do that much more special. For Chris Burden and Pyotr Pavlensky, I would say that technology is not an essential component to their work, because their most famous performances involve the infliction of pain on the human boy to make a point for their respective pieces. This is one area where the Blue Men Group differs from the other two, with technology being the tool that is most used for their performance art. Science and technology, the use of screens to display information to the audience, ...

Bluebeard's Castle (Assignment A1)

Max Jim é nez Professor Roundtree FMX 211 24 September 2018 Bluebeard’s Castle The opera I chose to watch was Bluebeard’s Castle , composed in 1918 by Béla Bartók, written by Béla Balázs and based on the French folktale “ La Barbe bleue.” As a result of a live stage performance being incredibly difficult to find, I viewed a German film version of the opera from 1963: Herzog Blaubarts Burg (Duke Bluebeard’s Castle) with English subtitles. The opera was altered from the original folktale in several ways. The opera version only contains two performing characters, Bluebeard and Judith. In addition to this, the way in which the story progresses and ultimately ends is quite different from the centuries-old folktale this opera adapted. In place of Judith being left to her own devices and ultimately discovering Bluebeard’s room with the corpses of his former wives, Bluebeard stays in his castle and gradually reveals his dark secrets to his new wife, opening the s...
