We have all spent yesterday and today working on our capstone video projects for our "Questioning Citizenship" class. We have been given two free days so we are able to organize our time however we would like to. One video group is Barron, Emma, Malik, and Dayna and the other is Alex, Jason, Nadia, and I.
Basically, the only direction we were given for the video was to explore an aspect of citizenship that was interesting to us or that we mentioned in class. So, needless to say, both groups are taking a much different approach the subject. We actually are slightly keeping our videos a secret from one another, so I'll reveal tomorrow what they are about!
One thing is for sure -- it was definitely difficult to narrow down a topic and to organize a video that would accomplish a lot, yet be simple enough, for 10 minutes. It has also been a good group-work experience, as we all bounce ideas off of one another, and work together to decide what could work and what might not.
One of the hardest parts has been divvying up the tasks for the video. Because we only have one Mac computer (we're editing with iMovie), then only 1-2 people can edit video at one time. So, the others do things like research, filming, brainstorming, etc.
It is coming together pretty well so far. We are all really working hard to produce something that we can be proud of, as well as representing Roehampton University, the Crucible Center, and the Fulbright Commission in a positive light..... no pressure! ;)
