Cool Project Analysis

While making this project the original group grew but the real people in the group wrote and planned and organized how all these people would fit into a decent project and how we could organize all of our ideas into one big project. Unfortunately the entire group was never in the same place at the same time so Amanda, Amber Cindy Jenise and I worked on this video. My role in this project was the director (with Jenise). We originally had three seperate ideas and came up with one big video with three seperate parts and messages. sence our group deflated we did what we could with who we had. We wrote down our ideas and linked them through the main characters in each section of the video.

Our project was a parody of lil mama's music video for her song "Lip gloss". While her role was that of your basic "cool" girl, our main characters were not cool. The Nerds in our video went around converting kids striving to be cool into being uncool. Our video not only made fun of lil mamas idea of artificial cool but it made fun of the whole idea of changing ones self to be viewed as cool. In a way by dressing like nerds we were showing another trend which was becoming a new version of cool because people were conforming into being that way. Influencing people to once again aim to be this new accepted version of cool.

I think making art is cool. Probably because it is cool to think art is cool. Art is initially a way of showing yourself or your ideas to other people and maybe manipulating them into feeling the same way. Making art is the same as picking out certain clothes, applying a certain style of makeup and doing your hair a specific way. It is presenting an image that you call your own and portraying thoughts you believe are you thought of yourself.
