Moby-Shot in the Back of the Head

HEY!!! I have a channel for artsy-type videos of my own songs and also other people's, the url is: http://www.youtube.com/user/reillyreset

A school project music video for Moby's "Shot in the Back of the Head." Here's the multimedia content synopsis I had to write...

In my music video for "Shot in the Back of the Head" by Moby, I picked up where my last music video for "Roslyn" left off. My friend Natalie finds the note that I threw at the end of the poetry video. She then walks to the cemetery and places the note and some worn out flowers on a grave. The grave is supposed to be the person that my poem was about in my older video. But, the whole video is played in reverse, so you're supposed to figure that out at the end of it.
The symbolism behind the reverse-playing video is how I wish I could go back and fix many things in my past and in relation to the deceased person in this video. The flowers starting off dirty and dying and then returning to full and alive flowers represent replenishing purity and livelihood after undergoing suffering and sadness. The railroad tracks symbolise the many paths that we as students and the youth of our generation have to choose from. The journey symbolises us fulfilling one of those paths as our responsibility. And finally, the note symbolises the things I want to say to everyone but can't bring myself to, because I'm yet afraid of the results that would come if those things were spoken.
