Original


Remix


This is a remix of one of my favorite songs. The remix of Plain White T's "Rhythm of Love" is a slower version of the original. It was done by someone who put a lot of effort into making the remix but he decided to add a little twist to the remix by changing the beat of the song. He did so by changing it from a somewhat upbeat song to one that is calm and a little slower than the original. This person utilized his guitar as both the drums and the guitar that was needed to do the remix.The remix does not have much of a video, it's just a guy singing in front of his computer whereas the original shows a bunch of kids having fun at the beach then a bonfire and the setting was not in the twentieth first century. Both videos had the same message i.e. Love is what makes the world go around.

  1. Sharyl, you write, "It was done by someone who put a lot of effort into making the remix but he decided to add a little twist to the remix by changing the beat of the song.

    Do you think one video has the ability to present a stronger image/message than the other?

    And you write that both videos have the same message, are you sure about that? How are you coming to this conclusion?

    Great remix!

  2. When I reviewed the videos to check if the message was the same, I began to rethink my decision that they were. I do think that one video has the ability to present a stronger image/message than the other. For example in this remix the song is slower and that leads to the thought that he did this remix for someone that holds a special place in his heart, which would make the message presented by this video more personal than that of the original, thus making the message a stronger one. In the original video I think the message was definitely Love is what makes the world go around but the way the remix was made gives the impression that love is something that is slowly fading away in this generation.
