I did my "Moving Poetry" assignment using the song "Young and Beautiful" by Lana Del Rey. This song is from the "The Great Gatsby" soundtrack. The theme of the song is everlasting unconditional love. I chose this song because it uses a lot of figurative language, such as similes, repetition, and symbolism. As well, the theme was interesting and expressed quite a lot of emotion- that's what poetry is all about! I filmed my video on a whiteboard, drawing/writing out each line. Then, I edited the video on Windows Live Movie Maker, a skill I learned during my first Genius Hour Project. It was quite hard to keep my drawings in sync with the music, but I managed to complete it. Enjoy!
