Inspiration:

Connect: Couple good shots I liked for example the quick editing of people tapping their oysters to show passing of time. I also liked the fact that we were able to see what she was seeing in her head with the poeple dancing which showed her emotions.  

The Gunslinger: I liked the voiceover narrative, which I may include to reveal charcteristics about my characters.
