For my final project, I want to do a video similar to the one we did for the first project that involves the remixing of different types of videos because I enjoyed doing that. Some of these videos will be creative commons videos and some will be from other sources.

I wanted to make a video that is based on a song, and after looking at creative commons videos I thought it would be a good idea to make this video about different events in history/a development of technology. I’m thinking about centering my video on the song “The Times They Are A-Changin'” by Bob Dylan. I want the video to start with really old archived videos and gradually travel forward in time to the present day. I’m not completely sure if I want to do this, but I am thinking about possibly filming some footage myself and using that at the end of the video to represent the present day.

Or, another idea I have is to use a remix this song called “One Day/Reckoning Song” by the Mojos which is a more upbeat song than the Bob Dylan one, and it deals with the topic of growing old one day. If I were to use this song, I would start the video with footage of babies and kids, and then slowly transition to footage of old people at the end of the video. I would focus on younger people and the video’s statement would be to enjoy life while you’re still young. I’m not sure which of these two songs I want to focus on yet, but I definitely want to work with remixing videos, including creative commons videos, and having my final video be based on one of these two songs.
