Hatching
I have always enjoyed good music videos: the right picture, colour, light, or just an object can enhance a song a thousand times and change the perception of it. I feel like music videos create a certain atmosphere to a song, make it more bright and alive. Unfortunately, there is not so many good music videos aroumd. It’s just so difficult to find the right visualisation for a song, to match the music with the image.
I was genuinely excited about this course the moment I knew I was doing it, it is both challenging and inspiring. There is so many creative solutions to a music video, there are endless possibilities to express the music through film, but it’s also extremely difficult to work with such loose limits, to always think outside the box. What I expect from “Egghunting”is to learn to apply creativity to music videos, learn to “feel” the song and be able to illustrate it with a beautiful video. I really want to try myself as a director/art director as well, I feel like this is something I will be good at. Another skill I’m hoping to get out of this experience, is ability to work fast and efficient, and since we only have 6 weeks to produce our final video, I am certain this will be something I’ll have to adapt to. On a bigger scale, my goal for now is to find out who the hell am I? I somehow thought I would be able to figure it out by the end of high school, but here I am, already in the uni, and still not sure what I want to do for a living. Or even what I can do. So, hopefully, this course can shed light on that as well.
All in all, I really enjoy the course so far, and I see no signs that it might change in the future. Creativity is something I thrive on, and, hopefully, something I am good at.
