Music

Latin World: Daddy Yankee
Girl Power: Avril Lavigne
Nineties:  Destiny’s Child, Spice Girls, Backstreet boys, NSYNC
Electronic: Martin Garrix
Punk: Paramore  
Daddy Yankee - Gasolina
  • When I think of any Spanish music my mind always goes towards the songs Gasolina or Danza Kudoro, which are my favorites. One of my favorite Spanish artist’s is Daddy Yankee. Most people know Daddy Yankee from the song Despacito, ft. Justin Bieber. The technology used in this video were the cars that were racing each other in the video.
Avril Lavigne - Sk8er Boi
  • Going through the list of girl power in class and not seeing Avril Lavigne on there was a huge shock to me, but I also realized that she was more of an icon for me as a girl growing up. She influenced a lot of younger girls with her music and style. The technology that is used in this video is during her “concert”. In the video she stops in the middle of the street with all of her friends/her band. They put speakers on top of buildings and they use the technology from their cars to plug in their instruments also. Using these things they create a whole concert.
NSYNC - Bye Bye Bye
  • When I think of nineties music I usually think of girl and boy bands. Some of the top girl bands in the nineties are destiny’s child and the spice girls. The top boy bands in the nineties are the Backstreet boys and NSYNC. I chose to do NSYNC because the song (Bye Bye Bye) I chose had the most technology in the music video. The technology that was used was a green screen while recording the video. There is a scene where they are running on a train (which is also technology) and I can tell it’s not real, so they obviously had to use technology to create that scene. Another scene that they used technology was when they had to use different cameras to get the creative angles in the music video.

Martin Garrix - Animals
  • I chose to pick this song because this was one of the first electronic type songs that I actually enjoyed. I remember listening to this song almost everyday for a while in the beginning of my freshman year during high school. Listening back to it now I still enjoy it, but it surprises me that I actually liked this type of music. There’s not many words at all but it has a really cool beat to it which is why I liked it so much. The technology used in this video was during the “rave” that they were having. There was a bunch of lights and smoke/fog everywhere, but besides that the overall music video was kind of all over the place.

Paramore - Still into you

  • Another thing I listened to a lot growing up was pop punk because that’s what my brother liked to listen too. Big pop punk bands are, green day, fall out boy, panic at the disco, and paramore. When I was younger my favorite was Green Day, but now I like Fall out boy better. I decided to do the music video on Paramore’s song Still into you. I decided to do this video because it had the most technology in it than the other videos. There are a lot of special effects and lights in the video. They also used a lot of fire shooters and a lot of other props in their video.

Xerox

Image
For the Xerox project, I only used what was on my face to make my project. I made about 7 copies of my face from the Xerox machine and then I decided what to do after I made the copies. At first, I had a completely different idea and was going to use my face and hands with something. Then I saw that we were doing it on art movements so I started to research some. The most interesting one that I found was cubism or cubist. The most famous artist that used this type of technique in his art was Picasso. After I went through some of his artwork I picked out my favorite pieces and tried to be inspired by that. So with my project, I ended up cutting out pieces of my eyebrows, eyes, nose, and mouth. After that, I taped it over one of the copied pictures that didn't turn out very well. As you can see from the pictures above you can kind of see how I did things. I actually liked doing this project I thought that it was very interesting and fun. I kind of wish I would've

Video Deconstruction

For my video deconstruction, I definitely had the idea on how the media portrays people, specifically women. So with this idea, my original video was going to be how the media portrays women, but how most of their information is false. Not a lot of people notice how fake pictures can be with photoshop and they think that the person actually looks like that. With the videos that I found online, I noticed that people felt very influenced by how the media portrays women but not in a good way. I noticed that a lot of these women started feeling bad about themselves and how they ended up just feeling very insecure. With this new information that I noticed I decided to change my idea slightly. So the video that I did was, "How the media portrays women can affect their insecurities and self-love."  The videos that I used in my video were all found online on youtube and a lot of the voices that I used were just bits of ted talks. The message that I wanted to get across was self-love

Performance Art with Marcus

Image
Performance Art is a very interesting concept. From what we've learned in class it's kind of like a public experiment to see how people react. My 3 favorite videos that we watched in class was the flash mob, the orchestra, and the frozen people at the train station. The flash mob video that we watched in class with Oprah and the black-eyed peas was very funny and cool. At first, it just looked like there was one crazy fan dancing by herself, but as the song went on each section joined her dancing. I liked how there were so many people involved with it and the reactions they got towards their performance. The next performance art piece that I really enjoyed in class was the orchestra. In the beginning, there was only one person playing an instrument and one by one more people would come out and join him and they made a whole ensemble by the end. I also liked watching people's reaction towards this piece because of how surprised they would get as another person would join the
