Told from my present self, I look back on the little girl I used to be full of naivety and wonder. Told in poetry storytelling form, I look back at my younger self, who is the same person as me but also completely different. I wants to be a child again and wish I had not wished it away hoping to be a grown up, but she realizes that childlike wonder she thought she had lost is still within her if she goes back and sees what brought that her that feeling in simple things.
Some of the video assests within my video are photos and videos I took, or that were taken of me as a child, and a couple recent videos of myself taken on my personal camera. I also used my own voice for the audio narration, reciting my own poetry that I wrote.
I used Davinci Resolve to edit my video, edit my audio, and to crop and fit my images. I orginally recorded the narrstion on Voice Memos on my computer and downloaded the file onto Davinci. I used Chat GPT to edit my title image, which is a personal image of my own as a child that I had Chat GPT edit and add the title on top.
