Feelings

The Great Escape from Carronshore Primary on Vimeo.

I chose this video because of the age of the person who made it, he's ten years old. I love the fact that even though he had help by adults, I assume, that it seems like they gave him full control on how he wanted his story to be told. Instead of using a voice over, it used words like in a story book. This little guy also used sound effects which paired with what’s written on the screen draws you into the story more. He also used toys and drawing basically things children are good at to give the viewer a great visual of what’s going on in the video. I am proud of the young person’s video and story, not only for making this video, but for telling a story that most people young or old wouldn't like to tell anyone.

Samuel - The Future Doctor Samuel from Juan B Barrera on Vimeo.

This video talks about a young man who has a dream and is in the progress of pursuing that dream. The music he uses at the beginning gives you the sense that he's sad that he's leaving his family and really doesn't want to but it's something he has to do. Even though this is a short video I feel it does a good job at what he's trying to say. Also the use of the maps to show the diffenrent places he's talking about is a good idea, so the viewer(s) can following him on his journey. I also feel there a hidden message to it also, well at least I picked up one, and that message is that you may have to make a hard decision to fulfill your dreams.
