For this project I was initially inspired by the cake-roll video I posted earlier. Taking two pieces of pop culture and juxtaposing them to provide a shocking experience to the audience. For the project I chose to bring together two pop-princesses. One who is still in theory shown with an innocent image (hanna montanna) and the new breakout success of Ke$ha. The theory is that all pop princesses follow the evolution of Brittany Spears, from mouse club innocence to sex being the only thing that sells their music. By mashing these two videos together I hoped to show that evolution in a jarring form to the audience.
What I learned in the process, music videos are really hard to mess with. You have to stick to the script of the music and that limits a lot of the flexibility that you would have otherwise. A better choice would have been to pick a different song and then start cutting together found images and videos of these two rather than try to stick with just a video. However this forced me to get very good at splitting images and audio apart frame by frame, and how to play with transitions.
