Statement of purpose

In the first half of the video I chose to go with the calm and carless theme to throw the audience off. I wanted people to think that it was going to be a calm and relaxing video. I also wanted them to have questions while watching the first half and feel unsure of where the video is going to take them . I chose to use clips from a Bali travel video from the Youtuber Jack Morris and a sped up version the song Young dumb and broke to from Khalid to embody the idea of being young free and carless. While going on vacation letting lose and being “young dumb and broke” seems fun and all that’s not really what’s going to inspire and motivate me to be mentally prepared for a job interview. So then in the middle of the video theres a quick little reverse moment which transitions to scenes of college kids raging for spring break in Cancun and the voice of Matt Graham and his quote where he talks about “the biggest lie young people get told” this to me is honestly the main point and is exactly what I would need to hear to be amped up before going into a job interview. These are my most Vitale years and I should not be wasting them because theres no time like the present Carpe Diem. I need to be thinking about my long term future and success because even though its uncomfortable right now growth is uncomfortable. I’m going to have to work hard and prove myself every single day in the field of work that I am interesting in pursuing especially because it is such a heavily male dominated industry. The last half of the video is scenes from multiple different college commercials a Gatorade commercial and a blue collar worker commercial all mixed up with the vocals of multiple famous motivational quotes from actors and political figures with the instrumental Murdercaust by Lord Lorenzo in the background. This section shows that people from all walks of life are working hard to improve their lives and the lives of those around them and I want to wake up every morning and concisely decide to be one of those people. Its easier to wake up every morning and be one of those people when you actually like the job that you do and its rewarding. The way you get a rewarding job is killing it at interviews and giving 110% everyday. Overall this video is meant to be a reminder to me and other people to be patient with the process and to believe in ourselves and our ability and to wrap it up with another Bruce Lee quote “Remember that success is a journey not a destination.”
