Mashup Project

I was pretty happy with my finished project and happy that it came together like it did, but i still see changes that I could make.  Some transitions are a little choppy but its hard to fix these at times because of the other timings in the video.  I had also hoped to do a lot more scenes where it looks like the rapper is lipsyncing the song lyrics but this turned out to be a LOT harder than I had anticipated.  Another difficult aspect was finding rap clips that were at night which was surprising.  Since the chorus talks about that a lot, I thought it might look stupid if the clips shown there were during the day.

As I said I am pretty happy with this project and glad that it turned out like it did because I think it is an interesting way to look at country and rap music.  Many people dont think to compare these at all because of how different they are, but this video is a great example of the similarities that they have.  Even though both songs talked about completely different aspects of vehicles, they were easily put together to look like the same thing.  Since these communities are so different and even seem opposite of each other sometimes, it doesnt seem like they could coexist but some people like me can and do enjoy both genres.
