Musical Interpretations. (My Plan)

1. Why this particular song/piece?

I chose these particular clips from Cascada’s songs because when I think of
Techno that is influencial and enjoyable, I think of her music.

2. how does this song effect your color scheme – why?

I dont think that the song effects my color scheme in any way because I
didnt intend on that being the point of my choice in song and overall idea.

3. why your using this specific set of images and how does it effect the
content of the movie. (music choice, historical, symbolic, etc.)

I came up with taking pictures because I enjoy incorporating still imagery
into my projects. They were taken/chosen because I plan to use them in an
effective way of displaying a psychedelic trance feel.

4. what do you hope the viewer’s experience is? (emotional, political,
etc.)

I hope my viewers take away the feel of being in an trance and sinking into the
music and its techno beats. Techno gives me a good feeling, somewhat exciting
and alive – I hope they take that emotion away as well.

Musical Interpretations. (The Start)

so for this project my plan is to do overlays of photos that have a florescent kind of glow & then put them into video format and set them at a fast pace to show some kind of movement and variance of colors throughout the piece. here are some of the overlays that will be incorporated. many of them will get color changes and different kind of brushes added upon them to make them more of a “trance” mixed with the techno movement and song choice.




song of choice:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7iXQVvIxsTg – “We’re In Heaven” by Cascada (mixed by DJ Sammy)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjZ2zwXbta4 – “Everytime We Touch” by Cascada

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYQm9mEbNy8 – “Perfect Day” by Cascada

additions to color scheme- darker yellow, more of a burnt orange, purple (somewhat indigo) & black/white

HISTORY-

TRANCE started in europe in the 1990s and is currently the most popular genre there in music. its “characterized as being accessible and having anthemic and epic and drifting and psychedelic qualities”.”From a pure music producer’s standpoint, the following elements build up a basic trance track on top of a solid, house-powered beat and energetic, techno-powered progressive sound:

  • Rifts, rolls, breakdowns and buildups.
  • Short samples often going into 16th and 32nd notes.
  • Anthems.
  • Highly intermixed major and minor chords.”

TECHNO developed in the 1980s in the united states mainly in detroit. influenced from the 1970s combination of disco and funk.

MY IDEA.

i want to come up with an object and use my colors to make a video that quickly switches colors back and forth and creates a “trance” feel. through the trance i wanted this object to move within the beats and what not through the song of my choice.

some sketch ideas-

above: just an experimentation of objects shifting through space and colors coming and shifting together.

above: another experimentation of colors moving and creating a trance movement through the space.
