MY little WORLD

This piece of video i have made was for Graphic Design, it was my first attempt to stop motion video making and the theme was mirrors which was about your personal space, an object or a place. Without too much thinking an idea popped in my head that i have an interesting drawer box in my room. I keep a lot of drawing medium there such as pencils pens scissors glitter and whatever else i like to use to express myself. In relation to me my box drawer is quite similar to my character, sometimes i like to use pens and another time - pencils, just like my mood swings, it also has a meaning that every day is a different drawer. All the shots in the video were subconcious and all of them say something about me, my emotions, moods, my own little world.

The reactions to my video where very different, some where negative some where positive and some where completely away from what i wanted to show. Still most comments i got were positive but even after that i would like to change a few things and make my video longer and include more similar things such as the opening and closing drawer. I understood that whatever piece of work it is, all people wouldn't understand and have the same idea or a thought about it, they would each personaly relate to it and have their own nostalgic thoughts or memories reoccuring to them, only experienced thinkers would compare it to the basic knowledge and understanding and give the analysis a generalisation of mass opinions.
