Round Two:

Stories, Interviews, and Seriousness

Round Two Assignment

After analyzing the videos from round one it was determined that we would need to turn our focus to choosing interesting story or advertising ideas. The eighth grade had recently returned from our annual Maine Studies trip and that was the focus for most of our videos in this round. Some chose to report out on our experiences, and some chose to create advertisements for some of the things that we did.

As we worked on this round we talked a lot about the need to be serious when creating news or advertising. There was an understanding that we are not professionals, so even when we have a very serious lens, sometimes the resulting video is still funny because we are new and learning, and that sometimes it is okay to laugh even when that was not the intent.

Enjoy discovering what Maine Studies is like through the eyes and ears of the eighth grade!
