Media Studies

"My name is Kelsie Kerr, and I am a Media Studies major in the College of Media, Communication and Information! For my Visual Literacy class in the Spring of 2020, I photographed the band Saint Motel during one of their concerts on their Original Motion Picture Soundtrack tour. I was looking at how the band used visuals, including LED Screens, props, costumes, and other visual effects, and how the use of those items impacted the way that they were conveying their lyrics and music to a live audience. This was the perfect concert to study this, as the band sectioned their concert into different "scenes", titled "Everest", "Military March", "Space", and "Band Biopic", each with props, lighting, and LED panels to compliment the songs that they chose for each section. This was one of my favorite shots, from the scene "Space", highlighting the raft that the lead singer A/J was using to physically connect the auditory elements of the concert to the audience.
