Dreaming Through the Eye of the Camera and Through Culture
For the first few minutes of class, let us watch this music video of Wax Poetic featuring Norah Jones. What do you think the video aims to convey about the power of the camera as a window and as mirror? How can photography allow us to see ourselves and others in different ways? What might it mean to move through a space -- especially an urban space, with the intent to connect to others, to pay attention to our surroundings, to see the world anew? Please also think about the music and how it works with the images and cinematography. How do the aesthetic choices help to foster an understanding of the song? What do you think the hook or refrain "angels falling from my head" means?
