Thanksgiving: The 3 to 4 Minute Video

This is my 3-4 minute video.  I filmed Thanksgiving at my house and hoped to make viewers feel and see something more.  If you are an outsider watching someone else's Thanksgiving you see all the work, preparation, and time spent just to sit and eat a meal together.  You eat the meal and just as soon as you're done you have to clean up and part ways instead of staying and sitting and spending time together.  This video is supposed to show the progression and work that goes into such a short meal and then the after effects of the loneliness that ensues when everything is gone.  I also liked that you can see people talking but can't hear what they say which is why I included the slow classical music to also counteract the sped up version of the Thanksgiving preparations. I wanted to make the viewer a third party or an outsider to all that is taking place. Like a window into the lives of a family. 

The Walk to Toll

This is my 30 second video that ended up being much longer just because I wanted to play around with different iMovie techniques.  I decided to edit the video to make it seem calm and peaceful on the walkway down to Toll.  This should feel relaxing and you can hear the leaves crunching on the walk down and it seems so nice.  But then walking up the steps the dread of going to classes and labs begins to start.  The movie slows down to feel the impending doom and not wanting to go to a three hour lab.  Then once I get to the door, I am ripped backwards as if none of this is happening and the movie ends at the beginning as if all of this is just a dream...or a nightmare.
