Low Moral: Creep by Laith Bahrani
Low Moral: Creep by Laith Bahrani may not be a normal photo/video story, but it tells a story that I feel is an important one. The story is of an office worker being depressed in his current atmosphere.
Making a music video is an interesting way to tell a story. You are using someone else’s words and your artwork or pictures to illustrate it. The problem you run into is the copyright. A lot of music is available with the creative commons license that can be used freely as long as you give credit to the creator of the content you use.
I feel that in this case the artist used his strengths (graphic illustration) to create his story. I would have added some black and white images scattered in at dramatic points in the music to add something that could grab the reader more effectively. Also photographs and very short video clips would have been a good point with this project to bring it into more of a news story than just a music video.
