Lost in the World
1. The premise is that people within our society are so absorbed within their phones that they are completely blind to the outside world.
2. The video gets across its message clearly, but because of this clarity pays the price of seeming preachy.
3. More of an examination than a cautionary tale. Technology isn't inherently bad, the video simply shows an exaggerated form of our society in which people are dangerously obsessed with their devices.

Photo Assessments
Two Doors Photo:
This image is set in an empty plain of some sort with hills in the background. In the foreground, there is a man walking from one door to another, looking tired as if he is just waking up. The doors both have light emanating from them. This scenario is clearly impossible, as the doors lead to nowhere. This photo could possibly represent the man just waking up and heading out for his day, as the sky looks like an early morning scene.
Broken Lake Photo:
This photo is of a man in a canoe, coming off a lake that is broken as if it were glass in the foreground. As the viewer's eyes move to the background, the lake appears just like a normal body of water. The image is made to look realistic, as the glass reflects the same as the water, but is clearly not possible.
Clothesline Photo:
This image shows a lady hanging her clothes out to dry, but the clothesline is a telephone wire and the wires are also holding up her ladder. As you follow the line, you realize just how far down her clothes stretch. While this photo could hypothetically happen, it would be very dangerous and thus not likely. However, the execution is very realistic. The viewer's eye is initially only drawn to the woman, and then as the eyes wander they realize just how odd the scene is.
Fish Lake:
This photo shows a giant fish in a lake, his back supporting an island. This is a composite image, as the fish could clearly not be that large in real life. The fish is the main focus, and draws most of the attention in the photograph.
Chainsaw Man Photo:
This photo is the most realistic of the bunch, as it just looks like a man cutting ice. However, upon closer inspection the viewer realizes the blocks of ice have fish inside, as if the man just cut them out of the ice. This is another photo that is unlikely to happen, but is low-key enough to appear real. In the background, the sun is just rising over the horizon.
Vertical Road:
This photo shows a man peering over the edge of a road that suddenly turns to a 90 degree drop. This photo is clearly impossible, as it bends reality, making the road continue as if nothing had happened. The main thing the viewer's eye is drawn to is of course the drop, and as they continue to look, they will realize the entire landscape is morphed to have fallen off as well. This is extremely impossible, but very well executed.
Painter Photo:
On first glance, this is simply a photo of a man painting the landscape he is looking at. However, the man is also painting himself into existence, even though his lower half extends out of the canvas, which is clearly not possible. The image is set on some rocky shoreline, on a cloudy day, with a small island with a single tree in the distance.
