Finding Balance: Advanced Project

Assignment: Create a video short that examines the idea of student balance in the LF/LB community. This could be an individual or group project that documents, through personal storytelling, the relevant challenges students face in our unique culture.

Due: One 2-5 minute web based video that will connect with your peers and community

Goal: Find a specific issue that you want to focus on describing, detailing and explaining through specific people's experience. This should make people think and bring the audience to a better understanding of the struggle or success a student has or is experiencing. Using music and natural sound together is essential to telling a compelling story.
