Storyboarding
Create a "Storyboard" page subordinated to your "Video Mashup" page.
Using screenshots of key images from each of your collection of elements, you will display each "beat" of your proposed video mashup. For each element, you must explain:
Create a "Storyboard" page subordinated to your "Video Mashup" page.
Using screenshots of key images from each of your collection of elements, you will display each "beat" of your proposed video mashup. For each element, you must explain:
- Which visual communication mode you are employing (moving, audio, oral discourse, still image, etc.).
- The degree to which the selection serves as a repetend.
- What the intertextual background of the selection is.
- Why you selected this piece to go in a particular moment in relation to other elements (juxtaposition and montage).
- The potential semiotic theories you see possibly at work in the selection (in relation to other selections).
The video starts off with a voice over of Thomas Edison talking about the phonograph. I used this picture to show what my video was all about: Self Actualization. I want the viewer to have this image in their head as they watch the video so they know how each people they see throughout this has achieved self actualization. Then the song "When You Wish Upon a Star" plays and I show pictures of inspirational quotes to get the viewer to see the main message of the video.
Next, I show three clips of some of the most known events of self actualization. The first one is a clip of the famous "I have a dream" speech by Martin Luther King Jr.
Next is a speech by John F. Kennedy where he states, "If this capsule history of our progress teaches us anything, it is that man, in his quest for knowledge and progress, is determined and cannot be deterred." The next clip is the famous video of the man on the moon where the voiceover says, "That's one small step for man, one giant lean for mankind." All of these clips show three grand examples of huge moments in history that have impacted the world because of three great men who followed their dreams and made a difference. Then "Faith of the Heart" by Russel Watson plays while pictures of Elvis, The Beatles, and more quotes show. As the song keeps playing, a clip of Walt DIsney starts showing how Mickey Mouse came to be. Next, a voice over of Steve Jobs starts to play. Then it transitions into the actual video of Jobs introducing the first Iphone in front of an audience cheering. Then a clip from the movie "Rocky" plays. The clip is of Rocky saying, "The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it.You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you're hit, it's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done." This shows how important it is to keep following your dreams, no matter how tough it may be. Next is a clip from the opening of Disney World, while the song "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" plays in the background. This is to show how Walt Disney kept on doing more things to peruse his dreams.
To bring the video to an end, I play the classic Disney opening music, with pictures of quotes from Walt Disney. I finished the video of Walt Disney being asked if he had to do it over again, would he do anything differently, and he answered with by saying, "Well, if I had to do it over again, I think...no, I don't think I would." This is to show that when you achieve self actualization, you have no regrets. |
