Authentic Self Visual

Here is the video I made for the visual portion of the authentic self project. Sorry for the low quality video, I don't know how that happened seeing as all my videos are shot in 1080p and my preset in Premiere Pro was the highest quality possible, but oh well. I hope it gets the point across none the less.


             

If for some reason the video above doesn't play, here is the link to the video on Youtube.

Negotiating the Meaning of Music in Film

I think that the song First Day of My Life by Bright Eyes thoroughly develops the feelings of happiness, nostalgia and romance. It has a happy upbeat tempo, and is written in a major key, so that alone creates a happy atmosphere around the song. The lyrics describe the writer's deeply romantic and loving feeling toward a third party, and they also mention past events, that are happy memories for the couple, which brings in the feeling of nostalgia. I think that this song would be perfect for a quirky love story film, like Juno for example.
