Final Video - Music Evolution

ARTIST STATEMENT

For the last assignment, we are required to made a video based on the theme: “Time and Space” so I decided to make a video using Adobe After Effects CS4. I choose four diferrent decades which is 70’s, 80’s, 90’s and current generation of music. Firstly, I choose top three songs of 70’s which is by John Lennon (Imagine), Led Zeppelin (Stairway to Heaven)  and Aerosmith (Dream On). I created the “beat hearts” but in a bit of rhythm which mean I want to say that on 70’s,  the concept or the space for music to expand worldwide is not too wide and less known by people. After that, I choose top three songs of 80’s which is by Michael Jackson (Billie Jean) and (Beat It) and from Guns N Roses (Sweet Child O’Mine). Also I created the “beat hearts” for the 80’s but I add on little bit of rhythm which mean the evolution of music created by some known artist are increase. The same step I repeat of doing for 90’s songs which is I choose Nirvana (Smells Like Teen Spirit), Backstreet Boys (I Want It That Way) and from Spice Girls (Wannabe). This time, the rhythm of “beat hearts” become faster. 90’s known with the band boys, group artist or duet so that the chances for explore about music and expand is widely open and can acceptable by people. For current songs, I decided to choose top three songs from Flo Rida ft Sia (Wild Ones), Rihanna (Where Have You Been) and Skrillex (Rock N Roll). The rhythm for the current songs is become faster than before. It shows that the music nowadays or new generation are widely using music as their space to explore the world and to express theirself.
