COMPARATIVE TECHNOLOGY

PROJECT PROPOSAL

////// FOR NORIKO RICE //////

 

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

 

Working in iMovie I will create two videos. The first video will use footage previously collected on my grandmother Noriko Foreman. It will tell her story and have clips of her answering interview questions paired with photographs of her life. I will also explore ways to portray a family tree through video. I want to record myself drawing out a family tree and speed it up that footage.   Then add narrative on top of that

 

The second video will be a recap and evaluation of the World of Work (WOW) Program at JSMA.   I will collect photos and perhaps record testimonials from the WOW students. The result will be a video to show what the WOW students learned during their internship and document their time at JSMA.

 

PROJECT GOALS

  • Learn techniques in iMovie
  • Learn what makes an informational and effective video
  • Make an interesting and informative video (2 of them, hopefully!)

 

STRATEGIES

  • Research techniques and instructional videos on iMovie
  • Look at examples of what I think are interesting and informative videos and model those techniques. Evaluate what makes them interesting and informative.
  • Get input and advice from Eric Schiff.

 

EVALUATION STANDARDS

  • Did I successfully create a video and publish to the internet?
  • Set goals for what I want to portray in the video. Then ask in the end, were those goals met?
  • Get feedback from classmates and other viewers. Get a class critique and make improvements.
