I brought in tons of photos of my niece from my sister’s wedding, pregnancy, niece’s birth and then her last 18 months to incorporate into an iMovie in class. It was a disaster in terms of quantity of photos, excessive amounts. It made me think about the importance of choice and answering the question: “What do I really want to convey?” Something that should guide every movie maker’s work.
Instead I chose to use myself as the subject and add in those who are important to me. I’m not thrilled with it, but I wanted to question what our society thinks….beauty and age, how we judge others by it and what is really expected by a number. I used my 40th birthday photos from last August to show the elemental beginning. I think it is a decent start, but has a long way to go.
