Final video

Final Project

For this final assignment, I want to create a video that promote a healthy lifestyle. Exercise is very important for our body to stay healthy. When you exercise regularly, it will improve your everyday life performance. It will help you feel happier and find life more enjoyable. After exercise, your body loses a huge amount of water. Therefore, you should stay hydrated. Drinking water is a best method to refill the water that you lose during the exercise. Drinking water will also help cleanse your body and give you a good feeling. In conclusion, you should exercise and stay hydrated because it is good for you.

Filming this video was not really hard for me. I chose the background as my dorm and the school's riverside. I didn't spend that much time on filming as I thought. I also had Ocean's help filming the video while I was acting. I have a lot of fun making this video.

I kind of had a hard time editing this video because I had to familiarize myself with the video edit software. It took a lot of time for me to film and edit the video as well. I need to add filter into the scene which I spent  about an hour trying to find the way to do it. Because I'm not art major so editing video is not an easy task for me. But I finished it. Hope you enjoy my final video.

          My public performance video is about peace and relaxation. In the video, my girlfriend and I tried to portray yoga position. Yoga is the exercise that people do to relax. Because relaxation is very important for everyone. It is almost exam week, therefore, many student will be stressful about studying for there exam. By using yoga, I want to deliver the message of relax and peace in our school campus. When you are relaxing, it is good for your brain and also get works done fast.
          There are many performance artist in the world. Three of my favorite performance artist is Marina Abramovic, Joseph Beuys and Linda Mary Montano. Marina Abramovic is a Montenegrin performance artist. Her art is base on the connection between the performer and the audience. Joseph Beuys is German performance artist. His work is based on the social philosophy and the concept of human. Linda Mary Montano is American artist, who perform the relationship between art and life through her work.
          All three artist has one thing in common. It is their mentality. They all want to push the boundaries through art. They always try test the limit of their performance. Technology is not necessary an essential component in their performance. The main component they used is their body to portray their work. In the field of Performance Art, the answer to the question, "What is to be done", in my opinion is deliver the meaning of the performance.
