My Visual Poem




 Hi everyone! Recently our class just finished our Visual Poem project and the purpose of it was to write a poem about us that expresses us and then film and take pics if it. My poem is about music and my love for it. The visuals that I used for this is myself playing the piano and pictures of my sheet music that I use.  The visuals relate to what Im saying when I recite my poem because I talk about music and hands touching the keyboard and thats what you see.

I guess I like my project but I used my moms camera to film all the b-roll and there is no way to focus it so my b-roll is pretty blurry. Also I kinda rushed on this project so Im not that happy about it. Next time I'll check out one of Mr. Sanderls cameras so I have better quality imagery and be aware of how much time I have to finish this project. Overall I guess Im pretty satisfied waith the result of my project.

All though the b-roll wasn't that good I still tried to make it look interesting by putting lots of different and cool effects. I used the crop tool, Ken Burnz effect, transformation tool, text layovers, and color correct which helped with the problem a bit. The Ken Burnz effect made the pictures that I used in my project more interesting to look at because it would pan across the image and zoom in and out of it. The transformation and crop tool made the image either just show a certain part of it or transform it into a different way to look at that pic or video. The color correction made the imagery more eye popping.

  1. I love your own music playing in the background!
    Some of your shots were repetitive and not very professional looking.
    I love your poem itself, it's so pretty!

    There is a lot of piano you need more music
    I like how you show the music sheet

    There's a little bit of black at the end.
    I really liked how the lyrics rhymed.

  9. Your rhyme scheme is really cool and creative
    There are a few jump cuts in the music
    The way you put your feelings and emotions into your words is really cool

  15. Very good B-roll of you showing yourself playing the piano of the side.
    The music can go a little bit more down.
    Awesome with the sheet music.

  16. I absolutely love the beautiful piano music!
    The thing I would improve is probably to include some more diverse B-Roll, so there is some more variety.
    Also I really like the subtitle and effect with the title to one of the pieces you played.

  18. I like how the music and the voice overs like go together in perfect harmony
    Most of the videos were playing the piano maybe you could've got more videos of something different
    I liked the shot you got of the music sheet and how you explained what happened
