It's okay to walk your own path. 

Lyrics

I'm different, from the normal plan

You don't get it but you'll understand

Many ask, many search

Many cry, many hurt

But sometimes I know

Pain goes away real slow

People try to come and comfort you

But I never wanted them, I wanted you

*Im taking a backseat, I'm slowing down real fast

I don't really wanna go where You're leading me

I know one thing, this to shall pass

I don't really care where I gotta go

So now....I know

So long to my past, this time I'll go

I'm different

I don't fit in

That's ok, I never wanna fit in anyways

When you fit in you look for approval

"Well done my good and faithful" that is my approval

Less impressing, more impacting

Words are just words if you have no action

Many are called, chosen are few

I'm humbled by your grace, I'll stand next to you

*If I stand in the way, push me aside

Cause I never seen it coming like this, I slip, you lift, while I know I'll rise

*To a higher place, to see things differently

Wanna see you're view, brand new, make everything true just to see a different me

*But I don't understand why

You have chosen me

We don't gotta get it, we just gotta follow it till the day I die and going in the sky

*I see in your eyes

Tears will go dry

pain on the outside and a fighter on the inside

Music Video Analysis

Smooth Criminal - Michael Jackson

     This music video is a narrative performace since Michael is clearly danicing while he is being a smooth criminal and protecting the women.  The video acts fits the lyrics to the song not exactly, but Michael is representing the smooth criminal in his actions in the video.  The video is consistent with the lighting that fits the scene and tone of a mobster bar.  It stays mostly dark with lighting coming from obvious sources such as th windows and lamps.  The video is also consistent with editing on the beat in which everyone's dancing syncs with the song that is upbeat.  One of the key moments is in the begining when Michael flicks the coin into the jukebox which was shown in slow motion for affect.  All of the other key moments are when Michael is fighting the other men, especially when they guy with the knife comes up behind him and Michael shoots him without even looking.  The guy was literally blown away, through a wall which was done with special effects for emphasis.  The camera does a lot of pulling in and out and a lot of pans to follow the action.  

Taryn Bidwell

I am a Mass Communications major focused in Electronic Media and minoring in Marketing.  I got interested in audio and video editing when I was a junior in high school.  I joined a CTE (career and technical education) class for radio and television broadcasting and that is where I learned my true passion for media.  In that class I got the opportunity to produce and edit video for our high school television news show.  I even had my own radio show playing classic rock for a semester.  

Overall I prefer making videos, mostly documentary style.  I love showing another side of things in my videos and drawing attention to things that may get looked over.  In my future I hope to be working with a company where I can do marketing and include my video editing skills into my work so I can build experience.  I would like to end up working on my own by going around to companies and making promotional videos or any other marketing related projects.
