My six word story is: A Smile. Distraction. A Crash. Sirens. It was hard to film considering I didn't have a lot of time to get the shots, and also it was hard to come up with ideas for the shots. The story itself I think is meaningful. It shows the consequences of texting and driving in the video, but if you really think about it it can be about almost anything that needs focus.

The concept of six word stories was created by Ernest Hemingway. Legend has it that he was at lunch with friends when he made a ten dollar bet that he could write a novel in six words. It ended up being "For sale: baby shoes, never worn." I interpret it as meaning someone is being offered a new life with the "baby shoes". Babies represent new life, with millions of possibilities and paths ahead.
The video scavenger was really fun to film, walking around the school finding creative ways to make something simple like a vending machine look so much cooler. It also taught me some new film techniques.
