I did the sports mashup assignment for one of my video assignments. The topic of my montage is the NBA playoffs. I chose this because one of the things that the assignment wanted us to emphasize was the arc of ambition. I thought that the NBA playoffs were a very good example of this, since it is the time in the playoffs when players put everything they worked for to the test. It’s not really about just basketball as much as its about training hard to be good at something and using the skills you learned to succeed. In the NBA just about every player is very talented, but in order to win your team has to set themselves apart from everybody else. This is a combination of teamwork and individual talent. Also, we had to show “a message about the moments”. The playoffs in any sport are defined by the moments because generally the games are very close and the special moments and great play define the outcome. I made this videos using windows movie maker. I found the game footage on YouTube and bought the song on amazon prime.
