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.
