I liked how you filmed a video of your family like your dad and brother waving and how you got your brother to interview to know you are closer to each other. I see a pattern when you show all the people after the video of your brother doing homework you turned it black and white like a old movie and used it to represent memories.

I see u put in how you match your scene with your songs as a pattern and I see that basket ball is the only thing meaningful in your life right now; I thought it was good that you show how you are a good player and bad at the same time.

I thought it was a good video showing the important people in it I also think how you zoom in on some people was also cool. I saw a pattern in your video of how you start from you family to outside friends to school friends.

Yu xi your video is very good and I like how you used your neon words to talk about your family. If also like how you have plenty pictures of you and your family together. I saw a pattern of how you show all the different people important to your life and mixed it all in pictures.

Ian I liked your video all in the third person and how you show all the important things in your life in your own words. I also like how you show things like ali joe came in the beginning. I thought the video was great and it shows how you feel about what is meaningful through your face.

Meaningful project video

Here is my project video of what i think is meaningful:

meaing of life for me - vince

DESCRIPTION:
In this video you will see the meaningful things in my life which are family, friends, nature, animals, and creative art/animations. All parts of the video was meaningful too me and the extras at the end are memories, I couldn’t fit all of the pictures because of my time limit so I just put 2 of the best ones. In this video I wish I could be able to add or images and pictures that mean something to my life.
Wells in this very happy video I have me and my friends playing Chinese poker and many pictures of them in school, I have my family at dinner and different family’s in the park spending time together. I just don’t think my family is meaningful I think all family’s are meaningful. I have nature and animals like the dogs, and flowers and bushes. There is also a rainbow in one picture but it is very hard to see, it was the first big rainbow I saw in the sky. There was my friend Kate drawing a picture because I was too lazy to draw myself. The picture at the end of the clip was the finishing product. The clip was also 15mins long and is shortening down to about 1mins. I also enjoy expressing my self through animation
I think that everything in life can be meaningful and not meaningful at the same time, like my family might not be meaningful at some times and that there is two sides to everything. In my video I also want to add in more animals and art and more videos since the video can only be 5mins longs I wish that I could speed up my clips faster like the drawing one but if I speed it up more then it would be slower and really choppy.

Analysis & Insight:
To do this project was very hard because I had to really think of what was meaningful in my life and how to put them all together and shoot them on film to make a video. This video was really helped me learn what I thought was meaningful from my prospective of only memories. I feel that all the things that are shown can mostly be meaningful in most part but think it was meaningless a little. They were all based on my memories and what I use to do. I think other families and my family are equally important because we are all connected to each other and all of us are family that means my friends too.
By making this video it is accurate that my life is full of hobbies and noting really special, but to me these things are special to me and that noting will change these meanings to my family, friends, creative art, and nature/animals. Even though I am missing some of my hobbies in the video because of the short amount of time I still was able to capture most of my normal life of what is meaningful to me. Even if it is not all the exciting to everyone I still feel that it is still interesting to see how we are all connected to what we think is meaningful in our lives even if we don’t know it.
