I was inspired by many things when I was creating this video. I began the process by focusing solely on different videos of my eye. I sought out to create a video that summarized the different steps my eyes go through throughout my day. However, in due time (whilst editing) I had realized that the concept had become too abstract and I would be unable to incorporate a sound that made the video as aesthetic as I had wanted it to be. Therefore, I began to search for more ideas that sparked an interest in me. I then began to explore the broader routine that I experience everyday. I was inspired by the many choices I make every single morning. For instance, the clothes that I wear, the accessories I choose to pair with my outfit, my shoes, even my makeup. Once I finished creating the initial videos, I began putting the piece together and had realized that the videos of my eye would be a beautiful transition between the clothing and accessory shots. I felt as though the eye created a smooth transition and also embedded a deeper meaning throughout the video. When considering the audio aspect of the video, I immediately gravitated towards a song that created an ambience similar to the video that I had created. The song was graceful yet entertaining and (in my opinion) cushioned the video very well. I felt as though inserting other sounds/voices would have taken away from the aesthetic choice that I had made when I began to construct my video. Nonetheless, I am happy with how the piece turned out and felt as though it was what I had envisioned.
