Movie Analysis

In my video I include a various amount of things that make me who I am. These things include some baseball, video games, friends, music, and other interests. I made this video to show all of its viewers all the interesting aspects of my life. I didn’t add any meaningless things because then people can just annoy me about the things I don’t like. And if they do, they have to personally figure out what those things are. Because I don’t want the meaningless things to obvious, just the things with meaning. Due to some weather issues, I was not able to include as much live sports footage as I wanted to. What I wanted to do was get some pictures/ video of me and my friend Erik playing football or baseball but it was pouring rain so I never got a chance to. Also I wanted to get some more recent pictures of me and friends but I didn’t have my cell and I’m just not the picture taking type.

Some of the criteria I use to show the importance of an aspect of my life in my video are by using length and effects. In the video, I used music and video clips in order to express the real important things. I think there might be a pattern between the things in my life that have meaning and are meaningless. Even though I don’t know exactly what the pattern is, I think it has something to do with the fact that I am very selective about what I like even though some of the things I don’t like have to do with the things I do like. I do think that my video gave a fair deception of what my life is like. I wanted to add more things that show even more of who I am but was not able to get that footage. But for the most part I show most of the main parts of my life that I do on a daily basis and that are important. I think the parts I showed were also the more exciting parts and not the dumb spare time type things like throwing a ball against the wall. Me personally I don’t evaluate my life from an outside perspective. I feel that who I am, is who I am so I feel whoever that may be is a special person/ life. But I let people choose weather my life is meaningful because I believe that if you like me as a person or friend, you think my life means something. But if not someone just might think, who cares? As of now I only have one question about my life which is, where will I be in about ten years? The reason I picked this time period is because it would be after high school, college, and when I’m on my own in life. This has always occurred to me because I have tendencies to not care and be very lazy. So a question like this always occurs to me.
