It is important to tell my story not only for myself, but for others who may be facing a similar situation. I hope my audience will understand what a personal and family decision stopping life saving effects is. I will be telling my story from the 1st person point of view.
Element #2 Dramatic Question
See if you can find a dramatic question in the examples for this section. Is the question resolved in each movie or are you left without a resolution?
Video #1- This video is about Guam's youth and their efforts to stop pollution and return Guam to the beautiful place it used to be. The ending provided some resolution.
Video #2 - I felt left without a resolution in this video.
Element #3 Emotional Content
Have you ever watched a movie or read a story that you really identified with or one that had you so engaged that you just couldn't walk away until it was finished? Yes, I have had movies that I had to watch through to the end. I get extremely aggravated if I don't feel that a resolution was met.
Element #4 Your Voice
Being that my story will be told in first person point of view, it should have my voice. I just hope I can make it through as unemotionally as possible.
Element #5 Sound Track
Can you think of instances in movies where the sound track had you sitting on the edge of your seat as you waited for something scary to happen?
I've been known to watch horror movies with the sound off. It's not nearly as scary without the foreboding musice. I think for my project an instrumental will be the best choice.
Element #6 Economy
Consider the decisions the authors made about length of clips, types of transitions and sequence of events. Are you able (as a viewer) to fill in the missing pieces?
With the suggested length of our project being 2 or 3 minutes, I will have to be careful to get in enough information. I don't want it to come off that we just ended lifesaving efforts on my mother because she suffered from mental illness.
Element #7 Pacing
Have you ever listened to a really good story and noticed how the storyteller changes the pace throughout the story? Stories are more interesting when read with feeling and the pace matches the mood and music.
