I worked on this SDA for ~4 hours. This time was split into researching, script-writing, recording, finding proper background videos, and editing. I did focus a lot of energy into it, especially for the recording part.
I chose to do a video because it's a medium I'm very familiar with. I had always planned on using WeVideo as I've done several projects with it in the past and know that it's a good resource to do what I had in mind. I haven't used Canva much before if at all, and I didn't think I had the time to learn a new program. Technology was a bit of a limiting factor as I feel like if I had a microphone to talk into, the audio quality of my video would be significantly better and more consistent.
SPECS was something I could've incorporated more. I found that the ending of my video answered the "significance" part of SPECS. Perspective/pov could be the victims of the various experiments. Evidence I could've expanded more on by stating where exactly I got my facts from and adding a bibliography at the end of the video. I feel like the connections would be the scientific fields the experiments were meant to benefit or the lasting effects of these experiments which I did include in my video. As for supposition, not sure what I could've done.
There wasn't a part of the process that was "unuseful" to me but I feel like I could've just separated it into the things I do know and the things I don't. There wasn't really anything I thought I knew but wasn't sure about.
The directions were perfectly fine!
Looking Ahead
I could start asking more arguable questions like "what was the best unethical experiment?" and what is the definition of "unethical". I feel like this would be an interesting train of thought. Of course, a question that I could always answer is "What other unethical experiments were there in history" but to add some depth I can get philosophical. I could go into what information we don't have easy access to because it's locked behind the bars of ethics. I could also throw some hypothetical questions in, a few "what experiment would be incredibly useful/interesting if you didn't have to worry about ethics". These questions give me more room to think and make an argument on. It'd also be interesting to design a hypothetical experiment like that.
