i took more pictures of government street and finished my flash videos over the weekend for monday’s class. now, i’m working on thinking of a theme for the video exercise. mine is madonna’s “frozen.” i’m thinking about the theme being something along the lines of change/transformation. throughout her video, madonna transforms into birds, a dog, and at times stays herself but multiplies…just like gov’t street, which has different areas such as residential, commercial, etc… some types are also multiplied. the space around her stays the same….plain, empty, abandoned, desert. so i think im going to do a timeline and have different frames where she is one thing or another and show them overlapping at certain times. i think this video has some sort of a dark/scary aspect, so im thinking of a way to incorporate that, as well.

I drove down Government Street to and made several observations. There are many transitions along the way. I started at the corner of Government and Lobdell and headed towards the river. The beginning of my route was neighborhoods and houses. Then it changed into restaurants. As I kept driving the scenery changed to an economically depressed area with abandoned buildings. As I drove closer to the interstate, I came across several law firms. Once I crossed under the Interstate, Government Street appeared very different and more lively. There was nicer landscaping and more action than on the other side. That side was shorter and contained mostly government buildings, more law offices, the centroplex, and finally the street ended at River Road in front of the USS KIDD. I enjoyed the ride and dynamic scenery.
