In Service and Love

This video may have nothing to do with art therapy but it has many elements that make it successful. The woman's narration as well as the music playing in the background really help to give the video the solemn and thoughtful tone that the creator seemed to be going for. Her narration of her own story is also very effective as it gives the story a much more personal feel. This made me think of ways we could make Ken's digital story more personal, and I think it would be best if we could get him and a possibly a few of his family members to help narrate his life story. The transitions from each image to the next also works for this video. However, ours probably wouldn't be as slow of a fade between images for Ken's life story just because we want to keep his video upbeat and celebratory of his life, not sad or somber in any way. Overall, though, I felt this video was a good example of communicating a specific mood through the use of digital media.
