Media Project

Justine and I are working together on our video and we have our idea in place. This past week, we had difficulty finding time to meet so not as much got done as we had planned. Our idea centers around an interview and what one should do and what one should not do during an interview. We are going to include some humor in it because we want our video to be at least a little interesting and fun to watch. Seeing as this is our first time editing a movie, we don't want to the low quality of the filming to add to a boring movie. I know that when teaching it is important to be yourself so that the students feel comfortable around you; that is why we are going to be (hopefully) somewhat comical. This week we will have much more time to do it. We have planned on Friday at 10 a.m. to begin filming.

Video

Justine and I are working on the video together and haven't officially shared ideas yet, so we have not concluded on a final idea for the video assignment yet. One idea that I had was to do a sort of question and answer format. It could be about our specific majors. This is my first idea because that is something I could easily talk about for the allotted time.

Another idea would be to try something funny. I have been watching a lot of Bill Cosby stand up lately and it would be fun to try something like that. I like being funny sometimes because I like to make people happy.

I would also like the video to be interesting so that people will want to watch it. I want to make sure that it shows a part of me in it as well.
