“House Party (KAYTRANADA EDIT)” – Latrelle
Author: Reynaldo I. Carrasco
Visual Poem
For the visual poem my partner and I (Pauline) want to make a project about sleep; specifically the lack of it. We feel as though a staggering amount of people in this city don’t get enough and sleep and if you’ve ever gonna hours or days at a time without sleeping things become… hazy. New York is more confusing than it already is, the mass of people surrounding you become that much more terrifying and any emotional or mental stresses you feel become exacerbated. We’d like to recreate those feelings through the camera.
Assignment #1
This video captivated me because it was able to condense a man’s entire life into less than five minutes. I feel the choice of background music played a key element because it dictated how the story progressed from shocking to somber moments. The entire mood made me feel confused and uncomfortable and I’d love to learn how to give people such strong emotions through storytelling.
