*WATCH IN HD : SMALL SCREEN*
*READ PLEASE*
This is my entry for the third challenge of YNTV. We had to make a character study.. AUCH. It was a big challenge, haha. Ive never really done videos where I had to keep in mind that it really had to be about one character. Well, I did it one recently, but that was only 17 secs and I wouldnt consider that a full video. But I really enjoyed making this one. I was planning on making a video about Edward Cullen at first, but one day before the deadline I decided to switch to Frodo Baggins. Its been AGES since Ive made a Lord of the Rings video, so I thought this challenge would be a nice opportunity to get back at vidding it : )). As for the song, I just love the song. I like this version more than Crawling itself. Ive wanted to vid it for a long time, and I think it fits Frodo quite well. E/N: I just noticed while watching the other entries that there is someone who did this song as well. Sorry, I didn't know that when I made mine.
I hope you guys like the vid. I know it has flaws, but it was too late to fix them, so Ill just have to live with that. Actually I only liked the first 20 seconds of the video while making it. The others just didnt seem as good. But now Ive seen how the full video turned out, Im kind of happy with the final.
Okay, so now the way too long explanation of the video:
The video starts off with showing how the One Ring was given to Frodo. "The Ring is yours now."
After that, I switched to the scene which I think was important to show. Frodo brought the Ring to Rivendell [not shown in the video], and now all of the people there have to decide whos going to take the Ring to Mordor, in order to destroy it. No one wants really wants to, basically because Mordor is a very dangerous place. Frodo says "I will take the Ring to Mordor." In my opinion, this sentence changed everything. This sentence is the start of all the changes that Frodo will go through, and how he will change because he is so affected by the power of the Ring. 0:19 kind of represents this. You see Frodo zoom out, and fade away. So basically the old Frodo fades away. [Sorry if that was confusing, its kind of hard to explain x__x.. I hope you understand what I mean]. The sentence also shows that Frodo has a lot of courage.
From 0:20 till 0:29, I tried to show how vulnerable and lonely Frodo is on his journey. The task was given to him, and he has to deal with everything surrounding that task. No one can help him with that. I also tried to show how Frodo is afraid that he will fail the task. "I can not do this alone. You are a ring bearer, Frodo. To bear a Ring of power, is to be alone."
From 0:29 till 0:39, I showed how much Frodo is affected by the Ring. He gets obsessed with it. This has consequences for the way he acts as well. Sam tries to help him, by telling him what the Ring does to him, but Frodo doesnt want to hear what Sam has to say. "Its the Ring. You cant take your eyes of it. Its taken a hold on you, mister Frodo." "What do you know about it? Nothing. The Ring was entrusted to me. Its my task, my own!" The way Frodo acts is very different from how he was before the Ring was in his possession. "Cant you hear yourself?"
The rest of the video focuses how much Frodo struggles with his task. 'These wounds, they will not heal.' is about how Frodo will always have memories of the Ring. The book shutting at the end of the video is the end of Frodos journey.
Brownish clips are memories.
Okay, that was a lot to type out, lol. I hope the description was understandable, it was kind of difficult to explain everything in a proper way. If its not, do not feel afraid to ask me. I was told to be careful with my descriptions, because they should add something to a video. I hope I didnt destroy my video because of this description, :PP.
A huge thanks to Jodie [LOVEtheEMOTION], Tasia [DamagedDorkyDucky], Anne [Asluve] and Kim [SweetieKimiie] for giving her opinions about this video. Thank you, girlies «33 ! If I forgot to mention someone; thank youuuu!
