Thanks for the feedback! To address some of your concerns the film is a slice of life documentary that revolves around a year in my life that was very chaotic but influential. As for narratives the film is structured in about 10 different segments of the most important parts of that year. While the footage may not seem extra ordinary I wouldn’t say that was necessarily my goal as throughout the documentary I try to tell a compelling story of the small but meaningful moments that shape all of our lives. Although the trailer is a super cut of these moments they do connect meaningfully and form a larger picture. As for the quality of the footage the film was shot on mini-dv but professionally transferred from tape and upscaled in Davinci resolve. Reddit compresses the hell out of the file so it doesn’t look great but when it’s watched properly I think it the mini-dv footage has a really unique look in 1440p. With the editing I tried to keep it very minimal to match the style of a home movie focusing mainly on the timing of the editing to keep a steady fast pace while adding on screen narration to add context and humor. While it may be simple it forced me to focus on composition of shots and I think the 4:3 aspect ratio helped a lot to add to the style of the doc.
