Watching one video about a boy named Noah moved me to tears for a variety of reasons. Having four boys of my own, I felt for this young boy who experienced so much in his short lifetime. Also, knowing that he landed in a good place with people who walk out their faith like I try to do, touched my heart.
The videos are created to move people to action and I can definitely say this one worked.
They used a variety of techniques. Re-enactment, which was very well done. You really feel the uncertainty and fear Noah had as a child. The adult abuser in the video was always darkened and mysterious, adding to the tension.
They also used a variety of video taken by hand of Noah throughout his time growing up at the home he ended up staying in, which moved you along in his story. The video of his interview was well-shot, the only thing that really gave you grounding that somehow this kid was going to come out okay.
I did notice one fade to black towards the end of the video, but it wasn't the actual end of the video. To me, it also made sense. It made me feel like it was the ending of one chapter of his life and starting a new one in the next scene. It gives you that feeling without having to state it.
The video also had a very clear beginning, middle and end. At the end of the video you are very clear on who and what it was about.
