Making my music video for comm 3395 was probably my favorite project. I was able to be as creative as I wanted to be since music videos are generally artistic and based on interpretation. I've made several music videos in my life and I've noticed the I do my best editing work whenever I have music with the video. I think that when you have the right song and know what kind of edits to make you can make a video that turns into something extremely moving to yourself and others.
I chose to make a music video with the song "This is your life" by Switchfoot, because I think it asks a lot of really important questions. As corny as it sounds the song makes a lot of sense because it says when we were young we had nothing to loose, but now as we are coming of age we are determining who we are going to be as people for the rest of our lives. This is song is very relatable that's one of the main reasons why I chose it. Below I pasted in the lyrics to the song to give you more of an understanding of what the song is saying. For the video I decided to make it a reflection of my life by inserting videos of me when I was really young (around 5 or so). I tried to reflect the video to what the song was saying while I was editing and I thought I did a fairly good job.
Lyrics:
Yesterday is a wrinkle on your forehead
Yesterday is a promise that you've broken
Don't close your eyes, don't close your eyes
This is your life and today is all you've got now
Yeah, and today is all you'll ever have
Don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes
This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, is it everything you dreamed it would be
When the world was younger and you had everything to lose
Yesterday is a kid in the corner
Yesterday is dead and over
This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, is it everything you dreamed it would be
When the world was younger and you had everything to lose
Don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes
This is your life are you who you want to be
This is your life are you who you want to be, yeah
This is your life, are you who you want to be, who you want to be yeah
This is your life, are you who you want to be (who you want to be)
This is your life, are you who you want to be (who you want to be)
This is your life, is it everything you dreamed it would be
When the world was younger and you had everything to lose
And you had everything to lose
