Dreamers by Siegfried Sassoon

  1. The slow, paced voice chosen for the audio portion was well done. It can really make you feel as if this was a first hand account of the soldiers it speaks about. The images fit well with the overall feel of the imagery in this poem as well. I think you did a great job.

  2. I really like the images you chose for this poem. They really show how much the soldiers had to sacrifice in order to fight for their country. The images coupled with your recording of the poem give life to poem that otherwise I would've had trouble understanding. All in all I think you did a wonderful job in portraying the meaning and tone of this poem through your video.

  3. The tone was excellent, a good pace and the smoothly flowing. As well the visual imagery was accuarate to what I would have pictured. You did a good job at making this poem come to life.

  5. On behalf of Vanessa C - "The overall effect was excellent! I think you had a strong choice of pictures for the poem. The vocals were amazing! If it was read by a woman the tone would have felt wrong. I think she connected well with poem. I could see the heart ache the soldiers endure on their journeys'"

  6. The voice of the reader went well with the poem and the images. And you choose good pictures for your video.

  7. I think you did a great job on your video! The tone was well set with your vocals, it reminded me of an old fasioned voice recorder. I think the pictures you chose suit your poem well.

  8. Really good, the pictures you used were really good, and I liked that talking but lack of music. I dont think music would have fit well, your voice was perfect

  9. You can tell you took some thought in putting this together.I like the way you presented it with the black and white imagery of trench warfare. Ive studied this area and the lives and living conditions of the common soldier were horrible, its not a wonder why these men were Dreamers thinking of home wives and kids(father n son baseball picture really good was awesome!). Great job i enjoyed it!
