So the following video is the first draft of my Mashup Video. It covers the topic of gay rights and marriage. It starts with an anti-gay sentiment in video clips and pictures and then presents the idea that not everyone thinks like this. I then transition to pro-gay rights/sentiment, and it explores the idea that people are becoming more and more accepting as the generations evolve and mature. The ending shows my position on the topic, in hopes of reaching the LGBT community and presenting them with the message that even thought I am not apart of the LGBT community, I still support the campaign for equality in marriage, and in life.
HI JILL!!
I think you did a great job of selecting videos and photos that really show your point which is great. I think that you can eliminate a lot of the pictures at the beginning because they have the same message, so I would pick maybe 2 or 3 images and get rid of the rest. I really like the celebrity tweets and quotes are great and really strong so keep those. I don't think you need to go so much into the racist thing because gay rights is a strong enough topic but that's up to you. Your videos are very strong as well, i would just limit them down to only showing the most important thing that they have to say. I love the song and you are doing a really great job.

I really liked this video! Just a couple of things:
First, when Ellen comes on, you should make the volume louder because I can't hear it.
I really like the section at 2:50 it is great!
I feel like this video could be cut down a little and focus on the more important ideas because it is really long!
I love the children part! It really adds to your video!
I REALLY love how you connected the boy with the words of the song right after. Great flow!
The charts add because we can actually see the statistics.
You can maybe cut out some images because it is showing the same information throughout. Maybe add some other images of people of the same sex together?
You can make it shorter by highlighting the main points of the videos instead of going back to the same video later on in your mashup.
Overall, it was a job well done!!
