Project Background

Prorject Background / Empathy: During my week at CML 2017, I spent 2 days (and many additional hours) creating the following personal narrative video. As a student, I gained many things from this experience. First, there was a joy in being able to lose myself in the joy of CREATING, and to create something that had the technical pieces I wanted.

Other things I gained from this experience:

• The Importance of storyboarding
• Sequencing is important in creating the video
• Importance of sound (and that sound and audio can take longer to edit than images!)
• The Importance of editing, how editing can enhance the story, AND tricks that make this easier (and cut out the frustration level)
• Feeling empowered to create
• No limits on creativity
• Keep the videos short -- videos take time… and sound takes forever!
• Importance of working with groups-- connecting with others for feedback. It is easy to get in your own bubble when creating, but the connections were the most important.

Things I could do to add to the empathy stage:

• Ask students what is most helpful when creating videos, possibly create a survey.
