2. Say Something - A Great Big World & Christina Aguilera
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2U0Ivkn2Ds Set in a large dark room we see a man, a woman, a piano, and heartbreak in its very many forms happening around them. Hauntingly beautiful, it is almost impossible to not shed a tear while watching the music video for "Say Something" . The video tackles all of the most heart wrenching times a person can go through in their life, and everyone can find a situation in this video that they can connect with and feel for. Gorgeous closeups of water falling like teardrops mixed with scenes of broken families, lost relationships, and saying your last goodbye's to the one you love, add the the sadness of this video. We see Christina Aguilera glowing under a spotlight, often shot looking up with the camera looking down on her while she sings "say something I'm giving up on you". This could most certainly symbolize giving up on faith, another heartbreaking time that very many people can relate to. The video is simple, as is the song, but both are overflowing with emotion.

Art is expression, with any possible form of media you can think of. Throughout my life I have experimented with many creative outlets such as music, writing, painting, drawing, sculpting, photography, and film.
Recently I have grown to love the art of film. It is a great way to get my creativity working in fantastic ways. I am now working on getting a degree in Communications with a minor in Creative Writing. I will be graduating from the University of Detroit Mercy in 2014 and hope to pursue a masters in film down the road.
I have currently started working as a video/audio assistant and technician at my University. I also freelance write, produce and edit stories, poetry, and video.
I hope that someday I can produce my own films and work on documentaries focusing on nature and destinations.
Life is too short to stop and think. Act, see, and experience the world and it's beauties. There's no better way to do that than seeing it first hand, then reminding yourself later of what awesome things you've seen, by looking through your camera or expressing it in a story.
