Using a fixed cinematic shot to capture a specific location is very interesting. Each video is roughly 30 seconds long and captures the most of two of the main sites we visited today (Brooklyn Bridge Park, and Brooklyn Botanical Garden).
The first video is of the view from one of the many vantage points within Brooklyn Bridge Park. The still video showcases two very important things regarding New York City. First it shows the beauty that is the Manhattan skyline, and secondly it shows the water and the boats movement. This second one is important cause as humans we value water front views. We see water as a relaxations method, for which we gravitate ourselves towards. Having this waterfront view from a parks standpoint only makes the park that much better. In addition the beautiful green landscaping and stone architecture design only adds more value to a almost natural scenery
The second video in my opinion is my favorite of the two. This one was captured at the Brooklyn Botanical Garden. Not much can be said about this gorgeous landscape. This video I purposely captured up close. I wanted nothing else to distract the viewer from the breathtaking flowers that inhabit the garden. Watching the video you will not be able to tell that it was down right raining and gloomy outside. The natural colors of the flowers raise the tone of color in the video making it seem like a bright sunshiny day. As the wind blows the flowers swing back and forth. I could watch this video all day along personally, and the only thing missing in my opinion is a nice classical song in the background. Sometimes we tend to forget how beautiful nature can actually be. We focus more of our time and needs on views of high rise buildings and nice skylines. We forget the peace and simplicity that nature can bring. This is why I like the second video much more then the first. Nature has a way to even in the gloomiest weather seem picturesque, unlike for the skyline where it’s just gloomy, flat out.
