Changing the choice of medium

When I first started started think about the song, I had initially wanted to create a stop motion video but after a lack of time and me wanted to really explore the idea of the narrative changing based upon the order of the images, i decided to change the medium of my final. I had borrowed books from the Massey Library about how to create stop motion videos as well as looked up examples from films. One style that really caught my attention was the stop motion section in the film the little prince.

I really liked the aesthetic of this style but the more i read about how to create stop motion videos the more i realized that i really hadn't had enough time to do the idea i had. I would still really like to try stop motion in the Future. One of the other major reasons that contributed to this decision was the fact that I was fascinated by the idea that of the narrative changing base on the order of the sequences of the images and i felt that this couldn't really be achieved in a video. While the images can be mixed up and shown a video still has a linear start and finish so while I  can imply and put doubt into the viewers mind, in the end there would still be a set order the images appeared in.
