Life Story through digital media 

I found this video entertaining to watch, not because it was comical, but because it tells a story of hope and determination. I think the way this video is composed would be a great way to work with Dot to share her story. Like my last post, the composer of this video is also the narrator and I still find it inspiring to hear the voice of the person whose life story is being shared. That raw emotion is detected and flows freely through the video taking on the feeling she had at that exact moment. Since it is just like a story except digital, there is a point to the video. Isn't that the most important part of this video? To get the point across to our audience and leave them with a message. 

The video is not happy it is about a death, but the music being used conveys a happy mood. The reason for this comes in the end of the video when she gains an important life lesson to love on and spend as much time with someone/something while you still have them. I recognize the song from the movie Shrek and can not help, but think about the calming, peaceful nature of the piece. 

I would like to incorporate linking words like this video uses because it makes you think, but also administers ways to relate to her story. Words such as "healing", "love", and "hope" are just a few she uses, but they allow me to understand just how she felt at that time. This would make a great component to our life story of Dot.
