I wanted to create a video which visually had the lyrics with my images, had the rhythms of expressed tap dancing and my recorded vocals ... combining my response to the song in my 3 different disciplines.
I appreciate to some ears that this will just sound like a hammer banging on the inside of your brain.
However to me, these were the steps that I chose to reflect the sound best. Just like with the deconstruction book I considered what sounds fit best, whether they were an up or a down beat, whether a shuffle or trapped beats sounded best, where my weight was.
I think that perhaps the lyrics are too randomly dotted around and I could have better considered a way to guide the eyes around the imagery? Too difficult to follow?
Constructing this video I recorded each section separately. I compiled all of the sections into the video to find that when there isn't any pitch involved even though the layers work in the song, they sounded horrific when it sounded like unarticulated stamping, so I got rid of some of the sections to keep any listener sane.
Although there aren't any melodies in the tap dancing, only the rhythm, I know the song so well that I can hear the tune without needing the pitch. I think I could consider each specific image in relation to its imagery and colouring better. However I think the motion of the imagery is important for implying what the pitch would be...
for example zooming in alludes to ascending melodies and the imagery scrolling down alludes to descending melodies.
