Red Visualized

Song Visualization 2 stars

“Pick a song (or a minute from a song) and create a video that displays a picture representing the lyrics”

I choose to visualize the song Red by Taylor Swift:

This song was pretty easy to visualize, the analogies in the lyrics are pretty straight forward in describing the intended visuals. I went with a pretty literal theme.

To make the video I google searched for the pictures I wanted(links below), saved them to my desktop, dragged them into a new project in iMovie. Then I uploaded the song from iTunes and had to adjust the length of time the pictures were on the screen by right clicking the photos and going to “Clip adjustments”  so that the pictures would line up with the lyrics.

One thought on “Red Visualized

  1. The theme works well, as do the visuals.

    So what is the story you are telling here with the photos and music? It appears literal, but we are asking you to focus on developing a story as well.

    The end ing is abrupt- I’d check the options for a fade to black so its not so sharp. Also, you need to be crediting the sources of the images (“from Google” is not explicit)
