Review "A take away show No Room For Doubt"

I thought this was a very creative set up for the live performance. I liked how you could hear the background noise and the people passing by. It made the video seem very natural and spontaneous without distracting the viewers from the singer. The video also had a warm contrast that went well with her calming voice and acoustic guitar.

Grimes "Vanessa" review 17

This music video is "Vannessa" a song by Grimes. I thought it was interesting how in the beginning you could here Grimes directing her models for the video. I also thought the angle of the women with freckles was very visually striking, especially with the black and white. There was a white back drop through the whole film so they could focus more on the dramatic movements of the people starring in the video.

Review sixteen

This music video is for the song Gone by Lianne La Havas.  The theme is very gloomy since its based on heartbreak and pain, which is probably why there is a greenish blue tint throughout the video. The close ups on the singers face and slowmotion was supposed to make the viewer focus on the singers facial expressions. I liked the underwater shot which had a man with dreads sinking with a slight light around him. After this shot they showed the singer crying with similar lighting as the water, which I thought was interesting since it seemed to connect the ocean he was in with her tears.

The Sound of Her Voice review 15

This film follows a couple who take a big risk by joining a cult that surrounds a woman who claims that they can travel through time. They attempt to expose her cult, believing that she plans to do harm to the members that follow her. The most interesting shots in the film are the ones where the characters are having flash backs to moments of struggle in their past, the clips were busy and flashy while moving to one shot to another at a fast phase. The film explained very little about the plans of the cult or whether or not it was real and in the end left it at a cliff hanger. I think they focused less on the details of the cult and more on the people involved because they wanted to get more in depth with the psychology and interactions between members.

Human Rights sentence ideas







  • It was difficult at first to express the main points of the quotes through our art work but in the end we were able to accomplish the posters while also learning many of our rights that most are not familiar with. 



  • This project was a creative way of showing our human rights and makes it more visually interesting as well as informative for the viewers.

Review 14

"We Need To Talk About Kevin" was a psychological thriller starring Ezra Miller as the sociopathic son and Tilda Swinton playing the passive and distressed mother. This film is follows the struggle of a mother raising a troubled boy with extremely manipulative starting even when he was a toddler. The mother tries to have compassion for the boy but his cold ways are to much for her, and she ends up being the victim of her son for years intill he is locked up after he commits a unthinkable act.  There are a lot of interesting shots including the first scene showing her during a tomato sauce food fight  and theres a birds eye view of her looking up smiling while she's being lifted up by the people around her.
