Cool Video

The Cool Fool from Sandy G. on Vimeo.

1. I think based on our video we have no set definition of cool and the video turned out to be more of a way to find out what is cool. We search for it with out giving much of a concrete definition.  There are certain instances in our video where there are the cool moments and also some of it where we show what is not cool. Such as in the cafeteria, Andy walked by and no one noticed him and when we put the loser sign on him. But During gym he was cool when right before Rachel's interview he walks away from the ball and it so happens that both John and Adam follow his lead.  I would want people to take from our video that there is no definition of cool and trying to go out and find it and try to be it is a waste of time. During our search we had a whole lot of fun and I think thats the thing most people miss with their lives when they try to follow a script and be cool. 

2. First of all let me tell you when we started this video we would have never thought that what we wound up with was what we were going to get. In the beginning we were going to do 2 scenarios where the main character is cool and you get to see how people perceive him and why they think he is cool and then the same scene but in this one the main character is uncool with again commentary from the same people and how they thought he was uncool. In the video we kept the commentary but it turned out the scenes we had pictured did not work out as we wanted so instead we had two completely different scenes but the same idea, in one there was a cool person and in the other there is an uncool person. I think the bloopers are the best part of the video. They are like behind the scenes but they also connect with cool, and our attempt to find cool.

3. I think making art is very cool. I love to make art and I love to see what other people can do when they do the many different forms of art. Its such a beautiful way to express ourselves and to express how we see the world. I wish the schools would have art and music and other ways that we can express ourselves as classes instead of having it just as an elective where you may not possibly get in.
