Reflection

My inner critic is pretty pleased with the product overall. One of the things that bugs me, though, is that I could do nothing about the fact that he grew older from the beginning of the film to the end, so in my video he sort of appears to age backwards. It also should be noted that I did not order the frames precisely in back to front order. I wanted to keep them generally in reverse order but I prioritized creating a story that made sense over keeping a strictly reverse chronological pattern. Also, some of the frames are used out of context, just to guide the plot.

If I could do this project again I would really like to focus on the audio piece. I like the music I picked, but I think it would be really cool to have more sound effects as the frames come and go, especially when the video transitions from between the major stages of his life. I would also spend more time identifying suitable frames from his time in “the real world” in Atlanta so that the end of my video could be a little more flushed out, because I feel like his transition from wilderness to civilization is rushed in my clip.
