The video that I connected with was "Dark Life". Pamala and I both share a love for dance, but hers is more club dancing while mine is jazz and modern. What I really liked about her is that she says dancing "Makes her feel whole, like an orgasm." I can relate to that in a way because when I dance I feel better about myself and who I am. Its a way to escape all the negative things in my life. That one moment its me, the music, and my body. I also connected to her when she said that her mother and school didn't believe in her because of the way she dressed and how she was a rebel, but she proved them wrong.
I liked how they used a mixture of music, video, and voice in the video. The images of her at the club, during the day, and getting ready to go out showed different sides of her. At night she was this crazy dressed girl. The way she looked scared people, but during the day she was a normal girl, like a student from Columbia.
I think I am going to talk about boys town because that is the section of Chicago I visit the most in my free time. Im not really sure yet how i am going to put it into the digiscape, but I'm sure it will be creative.
