Birth and Life of Opera

Opera first started in Florence, Italy where artists toyed with drama, music, poetry, with a mix of entertainment in order to to create a new form of performance known as drama. The first opera trials  were not popular at first among Europe. However, as time went on and opera was implemented more into society, the more popularity came with it.
There are many forms of opera such as comical or tragedies. Many operas tell stories that people can relate to such as love stories. This is what draws such an attraction to opera. It was eye-opening to learn about the start of opera and how it has advanced through the years. Opera still plays as a large form of entertainment for people in modern day.

Music "Movements"

Post modern music is the adaption to music with society going more modern. Post modern music does not describe a type of music in general, but an actual era. One of the most famous groups that came from this era is U2. Who have recently became the world’s highest paid musicians. This was an Irish Rock band, who really spread the popularity of rock across the world.

Another era of music was the house influencers.  One of the largest groups to come out of this musical era was daft punk. Daft Punk first started their group in Paris in the early 90’s. They pushed French EDM sound of music, making EDM one of the most popular genres of music in current day.

Unfortunately, Van Mccoy died shortly after the widespread popularity of his music.

The producer/DJ culture has came more into effect with the widespread popularity of EDM. One of the most popular artists to come out of this culture has been Avicii.

Final Project

For my final project, I decided I would take videos of the city of Tampa and clip them together. I feel like this best fit my final project, getting to show off the beautiful city we all live in. It was an awesome learning to take clips and turn it into an edited video.
