Newsreel: Accepting the Pain
By: Hayley Hedden
I started to feel the pain all over again
And that was the moment I knew
So, this is my life. And I want you to know that I am both happy and sad and I'm still trying to figure out how that could be.

The best part of this News Reel is how it all flows together. You could honestly put all the sentences together in a paragraph and I guarantee many people wouldn't even be able to tell they came from separate news sources/articles/lyrics/etc. The actual story and view is one I connect to on a personal level, so I can attest to the emotion that it brings out, especially if you are someone who has experience in this unfortunate state of living. I really respect the almost epiphany-like moment beginning with "so, this is my like..." It truly begs the contemplation of true acceptance and this is how it has to be, but the fact that you won't let the pain ruin you. VERY strong and I absolutely love it!
ReplyDeleteYour newsreel was very good. Also very emotional, I could feel the emotion when reading it. The topic made your newsreel seem more poetic and not just something random, which was good! I agree with Leon how your lines flow together almost perfectly like one sentence. I love Taylor Swift and the Perks of Being a Wallflower so I like how that was incorporated! And I liked how your structure was simple, all the same font and size. It went well with your theme. I think, if you would have used big font and bright colors I feel that would have contradicted what your newsreel was saying. Very nice job!
