I have only used the eye of providence for a quick stop motion amination in my video however I did think that it was relevent to the message of the message of my video.
The Eye is positioned above an unfinished pyramid with thirteen steps, representing the original thirteen states and the future growth of the country. The lowest level of the pyramid shows the year 1776 in Roman numerals. The combined implication is that the Eye, or God, favors the prosperity of the United States. It is sometimes interpreted as representing the eye of God watching over humankind.
The Eye of Providence is featured on the reverse side of the one-dollar bill.
I decided to briefly show the Eye of Providence in my video because of its American and religious roots. For example, I tried to create a representation that shows approval in society. As it is a religious symbol it can create a connotation of God, rituals and religious norms. By this I mean, society has become so Americanised it is becoming normal and like a religion, where people are following certian people at the top of the 'hierarchy'. People are following in terms of fashion, make up, attitude and values. I have done my best to try to follow these convensions in my video.
