You and I

I made ”You and I” for an English/Media Arts final project in my junior year. It’s a music video and original song portraying a theme from ”The Great Gatsby”. I wanted to reveal how the desire to yearn for someone you can’t have can change from infatuation into obsession. I used Garage Band to make my own music, and Premier Pro to edit. Every instrument you hear, from the tambourine to the electric guitar, were all played by me. I enjoy listening to older music, so for this project I mixed music inspired by the 60’s and 70’s because I thought it would be more fitting for the music video. In the music video, I am a hippie who is simply obsessed with a rich man (Alain Delon). I set up every shot in the video but had my sister help to record it.

Creativity is when you let your imagination run wild with no limits. Every thought or idea is a reflection of what is going on inside your head. We’re creative because it’s what makes us unique. I wouldn’t want to live in a world where we’re all the same.
