Statement
I wish to produce a video of Barack Obama "singing" Queen's We Will Rock You. I am choosing to do this in part because I am a huge fan of these type of videos and was interested to see what kind of work goes into to making them, but there is specific reasoning behind the song choice and why Obama is the politician chosen. I used We Will Rock You because of how it covers the progression of time (specifically, from a young child to an old man). This is highly relevant to President Obama, who is at the end of his second term and will no longer be in office very soon. Within the video, there should be clips from his first term and second term, with the idea that he was once a young man, taking on the world, but has faced complete GOP opposition while in office and, as an "old man" (notice the grey hair in some clips), whatever work he was able to do while taking on the world is over (see references for article on GOP blocking). All the while, aspirations were high and remain high for the Democratic party.
