Civilization Video review
What did these pieces seem to say about civilization? progress? history? human nature?
The pictures in the video represent the change throughout history. It shows the changes within the world's civilization from when cavemen dressed barbarian like and lived within nature, to present day when everyone lives in a house, has a job, and has to follow the laws and orders by the government. This video also showed different types of human nature such as philosophers, discoverers, artists, rulers/ kings&queens, etc. This video showed a variety of rulers from ones who used their power in a positive way such as Ghandi, Martin Luther King, or Nelson Mendela. And the rulers who abused their power and used it for force, killing, or violence such as Aldolf Hitler or Pol Pot.
Do you agree with any of them - why / why not?
I think the person did a good job of getting important events of history into the video. I don't think there is anything they missed besides some Roman history such as the construction of the colosseum or the Pantheon.
What did you enjoy about them?
Seeing the world's history in pictures in 5 minutes! Watching the pictures go from paintings (ancient) to actual photos from the more modern history.
If you were making a similar type of survey-of-history video, what might you include and what creative measures would you take? (for example, the filmmaker used "Bolero" because it progressively gets more intense).
Some creative measures i would take would be such as the tune of the music. I would make the more darker events a more intense tune and make the pictures change quickly, and make the less intense events a more lighter tune and have the pictures change at a slower pase.
Are there any questions you have about the pieces?
not for now :)
