Narrative Presentation

The presentation I enjoyed the most was the video of the children's story between the kid and the ocean. The visual artwork went perfectly with the gloomy story. The black swirly lines created an outline of a child but at the same time they showed confusion and sorrow. Within the story we find that the child is alone within the world and only the ocean presents a sense of companionship. He treats the ocean as a friend but at the same time its distant from him as if the friendship only goes one way. The ocean itself is an interesting aspect of the overall work. The visuals that go with how the ocean changes from day to day are impressive and convey the emotions that even the child finds them to represent, such as the crashing waves actual being a dance. Throughout the story there is a scratchy child like voice telling the story. The voice adds to the overall theme of the story. The child like aspect adds to the children story but the scratchy muffled sound conveys the idea of sorrow and death. Within the story the ocean eventually causes the death of the child. We see that the story is a sad one but there where a few moments of love, such as the child sitting in the rain as a way of comforting the ocean. I honestly really enjoyed this work of art and feel like the author should attempt to get his work published on a higher level.
