Firstly, this video was a lot, I mean a LOT of fun to edit and create. The whole idea of this video came about when I was just perusing through youtube, as you do! I ended up landing on a video about the different dance styles through out the history, seeing how energising they were in the past got me thinking. I took no time at all to find, in my opinion, the perfect song for these old school dances, to be danced to, and it was ‘we no speak American’ by Yolanda Be Cool.
Admittedly, the editing process took longer than expected, I did not find it tiring or tedious. Due to the fact that the video clips I was editing were entertaining and different, I still had to match some timings to the beat however.
Overall, I developed a goal of trying to show that older dances can still be danced to modern music, and that the styles of the dancing have changed to directly represent the sounds of music throughout history.
