Brady - 3 Months to 9 Years

For the video sequence assignment, I decided to compile photographs I have taken of my dog (Brady) from the time he was 3 months old, to this year when he turned 9. This idea came to me when I was looking at old pictures of him the other day and realized how much he has changed throughout the years. He went from being a sick puppy who had to sleep in a playpen and drink from a special bottle to being a sweet, healthy, and full of energy dog.
I added in the years that the photographs were taken in and organized them in a way that if there was more than one per year, they were in chronological order. I also added in transitions to each slide, so that the video as a whole wouldn't be too long. I used Movie Maker, which I own, for this video. I hope you all enjoy, and that I portrayed my message of how much he has changed accurately! 

Edited to add: After taking Professor Kermani's comments into consideration, I have come up with a few ways that I could change my video sequence to give it more of an artsy feel. One thing Professor Kermani mentioned was that I could make it so Brady's eyes or other body part were in constant alignment throughout the video. Meaning that his eyes or other body part (like paws or nose for example) would stay in the same place in the frame as he grew bigger. I could achieve this by rotating and cropping the pictures in order to assure that they all stayed in the same spot. I could have also used a sort of grid that I could put over the software I used in order to make sure that everything was lined up correctly. I also could have used images that were all the same size. One last thing I could have done would have been to make sure I chose between color images or black and white images. I noticed that I used a few of the black and white images I have of him. If I had chosen between color or black and white, this would have added more balance between the slides - just like if I had edited the pictures to make them all the same size.
