Generation of War
Here is my final video project. I wanted to interpret the extreme difference between the significance of actual war and how war is portrayed in video games. In our generation kids are being more and more desensitized to war through video games and don't take it seriously anymore. Video games are making a mockery of the dark side of war and acting like it is just a game when war is an actual serious matter in which people are dying and countries are fighting.
What I did is compiled audio and video files from real war scenes and video games. I put the sound of the video games over top the war scenes and vice versa to make this comparison. I chose the most intense and moving war scenes I could find and the dumbest and surreal video games scenes I could find to up that contrast even more. Then I added the "Ode to Joy" in the background to signify this joke of war that is being made.

Not a bad job, but I think you could have adjusted the sizes better, the actual screens were pretty small.
ReplyDeleteIt's cool, but I think you should use a video which majors are bigger.
ReplyDeleteits very surreal watching that as some one that plays games you never really think about the real thing good job made me scratch my head.
ReplyDeleteYou never really realize how graphic and morbid everyday things like video games are and you really captured that
ReplyDeleteI really like the idea behind your video, I have always thought about this with the war video games. You did a good job at getting your message across. The music in the background was a good choice. I just wish you had the volume of the game and the war up a little bit higher to give more of an impact.
