"Night in The Library"
This photograph is taken from the perspective of a female student studying in the library at the University of Tampa. We chose this particular subject because spending a night in the library studying or working on an assignment is a perspective that majority of us student have experienced in some fashion. In this particular perspective the student is sitting down, so much of what she views is on the same level. The subject is able to see what is on their table or working space including laptop, books, notebooks, backpack and drink. Beyond their working space the subject is able to see rows of bookshelves, as well as many other students studying at surrounding tables. They're also able to view their own hands from this particular perspective/angle.
Ranking:
1. Wendy & Elizabeth: Very visually appealing, cool editing
2. Berkely & Jesline: Cool idea and story
3. Megan & Stevie: Has a clear story and timeline. Could have manipulated it differently to make it stronger.
4. Kofi & Liz: Visually interesting, however needed explanation.
5. Tara & Frank: Confusing, but when explained clearer to understand. Should have minimized it down to one or two frames.
6. Micaela & Jennifer: Unclear on which project to rank. Both ideas were average and could have been a clearer execution.
7. Conor, Mike & Paul: Clear idea, but could have shown more of the goalie and goal
8. Peter & Andrea: Good idea, but a little unoriginal and you could tell they really were not behind the counter.
9. Spencer & Ben: Poorly executed. You could tell they really weren't in a kitchen, and that he really wasn't a cook.

Self Evaluation: A. I believe that I added encouragement to
the group when we weren’t sure that what we were doing was necessarily correct.
I also filmed part of the project when the actors needed someone to pitch in
while they were acting.
Michael: He did a great job editing the video even with
little experience. He also contributed to filming. A.
Ben: he took initiative and leadership in the project. He
also contributed his piano experience. A.
Erin: She contributed a lot of brainstorming and did the
writing. She did the catalogue in conjunction with me and the idea of the
process. A
Berkley: She was an actor playing the piano alongside Ben.
She also filmed some of the sequences on her phone and also sent the
information to Michael to edit. She had a lot of enthusiasm. A

Process
From the beginning, we knew that we were interested in a creating a video or a short film because we believed this would be the most concise and clear way of including all the themes we have learned. While brainstorming it came to light that Ben is a talented piano player, and he was interested in using this talent to make a strong video. Once we centered the idea around Ben playing the piano and using sounding, many ideas started to flow creating an elaborate theme.
Synopsis
We centered of our video around the ideas of unity, life and death, which we used music to express. The video starts of with Ben walking in the room with the piano, when he reaches the piano he begins to play harmony of the song “Heart and Soul”. After playing alone for a short time, Berkley enters and begins to play the melody. The two playing “Heart and Soul” together is symbolic, showing unity. While playing together the music speeds up and the mood is that of joy, which we believe shows life. After the song concludes, the mood shifts and Berkley leaves the scene. Ben remains alone, playing Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony somberly, and then finally ending in an aggressive manor. The scene goes black followed by applause.
Catalogue
Art of Seeing: This is shown during the wide pan from the characters to the room. This shows the environment which setting the mood of the video.
Point of View/ Perspective: We used multiple perspectives through out the film, for example there is a view from the sheet music showing the faces of the players. There are also multiple shots of the players from different angles.
Metaphor: This was first shown in a more obvious fashion using Ben and Berkley’s skin tones of black and white, as well as the black and white keys to show unity. This is shown in a less obvious manor by the unity of “Heart and Souls” harmony and melody.
Multi-frames: Through out the film there is a progression of Ben entering the shot to play the piano, Berkley entering the shot to play with him, and Berkley leaving Ben to play alone.
Framing the Image: This was shown when the frame was cropped just to show Ben’s hands playing the piano.
Reduction Form/ Symbol: This is shown when the camera zooms in on the piano keys, emphasizing their black and white form.
Life and Death: This idea was shown in the music choices. Life is identified with the unity of Berkley and Ben with a happy song, death was identified when Ben played alone with a tragic song.
Sound/ Audio: The use of sound is clear through the video with the use of the piano. We also used applause to signify the end of the video.
