Connor Winkler Initial Walkthrough

Ok Lets try this again. Welcome to my epoetry walkthrough for the fly, the fly by William Blake, which is my favorite poem. It discusses humanities relative smallness, so without further ado let's rock and roll. Here I started with some imagery of nature which is quite beautiful

and quite grounded. Humans are the top dogs of earth we are top of the food chain

 we are the most powerful creatures around so this is sorta a comfort zone for us.

So I juxtoposes that, juxtaposed that with the spaceship which is leaving earth going into the deep like wide unknown of the universe which is quite bigger than we are, where we are not the top dogs, we don't know know what's going on and we are not in control. This fits well with the with theme of the poem which has to do with humanities relative smallness without being too dark, nihilistic. It's an upbeat poem it still manages to stay positive despite discussing humanity's lack of importance in the universe. I guess I would say I kept the words centered in this part because,  well all the parts because I liked it being in a central location and the focal point of the video so that it didn't look like a random video of random things. I didn't particularly enjoy, for my poem, how some of my classmates did it with words on the side and whatever like that could work for them but for me I just wanted the words in the forefront so I made it very in your face and sort minimalistic beyond that but so you couldn't miss them when they came up. As for the song I wanted a song, well for one thing I just liked the song. I wanted a song that matched the poem's tone of being upbeat but the poem, er the song is still discussing leaving earth behind and leaving the things you know and despite that the build of the song is very positive. It's a very upbeat fast paced kind of light hearted sort of song and the rocket ship kinda

 shows humanity's achievement which is amazing but still small in the widescape er wide scope of the universe and then here we have some more beautiful imagery of earth which shows just you know those are all our cities and like all of our things and it's very very small even if you zoom out just a short amount. And that should bring us to the close there.  Thank you for listening and have a good day.
