Music Takes You Places

Concept:
-While brainstorming ideas for this project, a constant theme of emotions and music reappeared in a lot of my thumbnail sketches. As a result, I settled on making a gif that shows how the inclusion of music can change the mood and take someone to a different place entirely. To achieve this, the inclusion of multiple music notes to change a seemingly blank mood were included, and the background was changed to show how music pulls a person out of the world they are in.

Final Product:
Evolution:
-The gif evolved slightly from the post-it sketches to the final product. The major evolution that made its way in was having the music notes slide off screen and then reverting the image to the original emotionless, white background picture that I started with. This further emphasized the idea that music really lifts the mood and servers as a positive distraction, since the figure lost his happiness and trippy placement when the music stopped. I also feel as thought the finished product just has more meaning compared to the thumbnail, even though both follow the same structure and similar style.
