HW 38 - Art Project Cool

Untitled from Stephanie Adames on Vimeo.



1.) The message that my group and i tried portraying here was a person who is seen by everyone else as "cool" but the way he approaches cool is by being a jerk to all who surround him. Also, he maintains this role within school, classrooms, hallways, but given the opportunity, such as seen in the "student council meeting" held in the auditorium, he shows a bright side to himself that demonstrates him stepping out of his playted role for one second and showing another side to himself.

2.) We literally winged each step. Group members all shared ideas of what we could do that would be something a jerk during school hours would actually do, while shooting. All our takes were done within one History period. Every idea was either added onto or changes were suggested upon, leading to what we had conclusively. I played the role of the "insightful jerk" and helped come up with how to direct/setup each scene.

3.) I wouldnt consider this to be art. Art is something that everyone can create a connection to, whether it be personally or an outside-connection to the world. Our video remains strictly within a school environment. And for every HW assignment to be an art project, and for students always choosing the option of a video to demoinstrate art, i believe is to be the easy way out rather than taking the time to do something special and meaningful, including myself.
