I chose to use my descriptive essay for my remix #2 because I felt that it needed a visual aspect to go along with it. I decided to go back to the tree that I wrote about in my essay, and take videos that I could compile into a montage with a voiceover of my essay in the background. My sister and I went back and asked the new owners for permission to film on their property. After we got their permission, we filmed the tree from every possible angle. When I got home, I recorded the voiceover and created the montage.
I feel that this montage makes my essay much better. It gives the reader a visual aspect of the tree that was not there before. Additionally, it is much more impactful hearing the essay rather than reading it because it makes it more captivating and entertaining for the person listening. It also makes it feel much more like a story than an essay. Even though this is a simple remix, it gives the reader a visual and audio version that it much easier to follow than reading three pages of writing.
