**1. why you chose the videos you did.** I choose these videos because they are all relaxing and make me feel clam. I enjoy watching the ones that there is a pattern and you know what is coming next. The slow motion video I like because it makes you pay attention to things that you normally wouldn't, you see all the little things that normally wouldn't be seen by your eyes. I like that you can see the detail close up and when watching them you focus on them. I choose the time lapse video because you don't notice the little changes that happen through the day, and in this video you can see all those changes happen in a matter of minutes. **2. What was it about the work that attracted you?** All the work I choose all had a feeling to it that made me relaxed and clam because I have something to focus on. The ones with a lot of visual effects made me just stare at them because the changing colors and movements were in pattern, and i enjoy patterns because I know what is going to be coming next. **3. From an artistic point of view what elements or principles are evident (line, shape, pattern, color, texture, space, form, emphasis, rhythm, movement, balance, proportion, value, contrast, unity, variety, light/shadow, perspective).** In most of these videos there is pattern, space, emphasis in the slow motion video and rhythm and a lot of movement and a different perspective than we are usually looking at. Like in the time lapse video it is up high and we never are able to see what is happening when we are just looking with a naked eye, in this video you are able to see everything that is happening. There is emphasis in the slow motion and the time lapse because it is emphasizing on what is happening that you usually wouldn't see. **4. Connect this video to your own life or experiences and explain the connection.** I have a lot of anxiety and stress about things that shouldn't be stressed about, so seeing videos that make me focus on something else helps me get calm and relax a little. **5. How were sound or music important to this work? Explain.** The music that goes with them was either exciting or relaxing so it tied with what was happening if it was clam or crazy.
