Assignment 3: Ken Burns

Dear Journal,

Finally! Videos! I like! Hard Work!

I like videos because if a picture paints a thousand words, then what about video? Sadly also because of the vast input of information coming from moving screen and audio, the human brain is unable to process everything it is exposed to. Thus explaining the tv.

Anyway, this video seeks to utilise still images in video (WT... I thought this was about videos, Julian). I picked themes that had a bit of bite.

The nus video was straightforward, cocky, abrasive, arrogant without starting off so. I liked it. It centres on the premise of "if i had to pick one thing what would it be?". In this case, you had to pick one thing about nus which impresses you. The video then goes on to ask "would i say this or that good thing about NUS?" In the end, it attempts to say that it is difficult to pick just one of these good points about nus to speak of.

The CNM video was random. I wanted to portray the randomness and difference cnm is as compared to the other disciplines. Like homework could be a photo assignment (not all the time but they don't need to know that). Or that reference material could be your friends and google scholar. That kinda thing.

Anyways, the video has been posted 2 entries earlier. I edited that one since i removed the prototype version so i updated the previous post where i posted it originally.
