Personal Story Client based Project Spring 2014
Assignment: Tell your personal story, as well as one for a friend, to learn how to work with a client well. With your friend you will guide them through the whole process of shooting and editing while for your video another classmate will be editing your video as you become the client.
Due: Two 1-2 minute personal narrative stories that show and tell the unique aspects of your clients to their specific audience.
Goal: To work with a partner, as well as a friend, to find a good story that you can cultivate and share with a specific audience. It can be used as a Senior capstone, Common App supplement or a job application. You will learn how to guide a client through the storytelling process as well as use words to direct a peer through the editing process without touching the mouse.
