The most noticeable strength of this project is its creativity. The producer has relayed a generally accepted message in a very unique way by depicting his view about the presence of music in every aspect of life. My favorite part of the project is its use of a great number of video segments to represent different types of music. As the main character discovers new ways to play music, the song in the video develops more and more, and becomes pleasingly melodic. In a way, the character development in the video is represented in the music's flow. The video incorporates several scenes utilizing different mediums to create new sounds and makes it fun for the audience to watch by using interesting depictions and humor. My method of evaluation for this project was comparing it to a written piece that would have attempted to describe the presence of music in everything. This video features an idea that could not have been visualized through words, but succeeded in relaying the message using video and sound to deliver a strong message.
This project has a very strong message to convey, but could have delivered it in a much better way. The main take-away is the idea of "going green" and how Clemson University has taken several initiatives to protect the campus environment through student and faculty efforts. If the video quality and use of multimedia methods had been taken advantage of in a more structured manner, the message being relayed could have been extremely strong. The sound quality could have been much more clear, avoided unnecessary background noise, and excluded abrupt cuts in the video. The video lighting in the individual interviews should have been more homogenous and clear to the eye. Most importantly, if the interviews were complemented with actual footage of campus efforts depicting recycling, reusing, and reducing waste on campus, the project could have delivered a more coherent, well-rounded message.
