Artist

I focused on the work of Marc Webb as inspiration for my final project. He is well known mainly in the realm of music video direction. He has directed videos for groups from My Chemical Romance to AFI and Good Charlotte. The works I have chosen as examples of what I will attempt to do in my final project are, "Move Along" by All American Rejects, "The River" by Good Chralotte, "She Hates Me" by Puddle of Mud, "Dirty Little Secret" by All American Rejects, and "Work" by Jimmy Eat World. These pieces/videos don't all include spoken word as my final will, but they all contain different points of view from multiple people on one topic, which is what i am striving to do. I am interviewing some friends about the role music plays in their lives then cutting it and editing it to make it flow better and look more interesting. I think Marc Webb puts a lot of thought into his work and always tries to make it cohesive and interesting to the viewer even if the topic is lacking in content. This is something i hope i will be able to accomplish with my final piece.
