The six words I chose to use were "Achievement is not possible without dedication". I chose these words because I wanted to tell the story of my soccer journey and point out the amount of time that has to be put in for me to truly succeed. The first shot I used was a high angle wide shot, I chose to use this angle because I wanted to show the entirety of the setting while still clearly being able to see the action I was performing (stretching). The second shot was a medium shot. I chose this angle because I wanted the focus to be on me doing pushups, focusing on the hard work being done. I used a wide angle, eye-level shot for my third clip because I wanted the viewer to see me as I ran for a prolonged distance. I chose a POV shot for my fourth shot because it brought my perspective into consideration and helped the viewer visualize what it is like for me as I play. I used a close up angle for my fifth shot. I chose this shot to focus on the touches of the ball. For my sixth and last shot I used an extreme wide shot. I chose to use an extreme wide shot because I wanted there to be room for my text to appear without covering the action I was performing. I also thought the extreme wide shot was a fitting to end my story because it symbolized a bigger picture/ the final product just like the final product of all my hard work in my soccer game as a whole.

After reading Ernest Hemingway's six-word story; "For sale: baby shoes never worn" I was very interested in finding out the intended message behind that story. I learned that there is a popular urban legend surrounding this particular six-word story. The legend is that Hemingway made a bet for $10 that he could write a novel on a napkin. I interpreted the meaning of this "flash fiction" story as being about a miscarriage. Whomever wrote the ad is selling unworn baby shoes because the baby the shoes were originally bought for was never born, therefore was never able to wear the shoes. One link I found useful while researching Hemingway's six word story was www.openculture.com/2015/03/the-urban-legend-of-ernest-hemingways-six-word-story.html I used the Huffington post to look at examples of other six-word stories. One that inspired me was " 'You think too much' I pondered." I enjoyed this story because of its complexity. The story itself is very short and simple but it caused me to think about it for a long period of time. While I looked at examples of six-word stories, I came up with a few ideas. My favorite being something about hard work and sacrifice and using shots of me practicing soccer. |
