As you all know, I did my digital essay project on “The Electric Slide Boogie” by Audre Lorde. The theme is a basic precept
that states “when you fall, get back up, and keep moving forward.” I fleshed this theme out by creating a scenario where I’m seemingly at the end of my line, but then after doing some thinking about the situation, realize that once you hit rock bottom, the only way left to go is back up. I supplemented this realization with the various texts scattered throughout the video along with a transition from grey scale to color. Another transition which i have made here is a shift in music. My first song is entitled “Vocalise OP.34, No.14.” by Hakase Taro & Kadokura Satoshi, and is seemingly an embodiment for melancholy, regret and despair. The second song is “Overflowing Emotions, Reunion” by Motoi Sakuraba, Shinji Tamura, and Motoo Fujiwara, which goes from soft and slow in the beginning to grand yet mellow at the end. With regards to Windows Movie Maker, I feel that it has a very simple interface that makes issues such as timing a snap. Unfortunately however, I feel like because of it’s simplicity, doing anything complicated in WMM would be a nearly impossible task. But anyway, without further ado, here is my digital essay.
