In this autobiographical documentary I tell the tale of an experience
that occurred in my life that emulates a journey which expands throughout my high
school career. Much like an
autobiographical documentary I watched on youtube about Paul McCartney this
film takes a certain time period in an individual’s life (me) and uses voice
over audio as well as images to portray what I am speaking about.
I decided to make a film that was a
lot like the radio documentary we watched in class about the boy who spoke
slowly. But, I also wanted to give the
audience an image to focus their eyes on as well; therefore playing with the
audio, I decided to place pictures of myself playing volleyball and at the
hospital. I feel that these two elements
of image and audio would help the audience feel more connected with my story and
who I am as a person. Much like the
autobiographical documentaries we watched in class this film tells a story
based on my own perspective. As we know
autobiography comes from the root word biography which is the narrative
describing and individual’s experiences in life. This film is the biography of my high school
years playing volleyball and what I learned from them.
We must
also take into account that autobiographical documentaries have a message
illustrated to the audience that is tells them more than just realistic info
about the subject. In this particular autobiography,
I explain to the audience that despite the bumps in the road, one can still
achieve his/her ultimate goal; but we must keep an open mind and understand that
we may have to take a different path to get there. Another message behind the image is that we
need to find the good in life, and when life gives us something bitter we must
find a way to make it sweet.
