Recognize current communication issues and trends.
Today in America we deal with many culture issues daily and sometimes we have public figures brave enough to tackle these issues head on. During my COM class with Professor Taylor, we used found footage online to tell a story of our choice. And who better to base it on than the ever so controversial and greatest basketball player on the planet, LeBron James. During NBA All-Star Weekend, LeBron and Kevin Durant sat down and did a interview addressing the current president of the United States, Donald Trump. During this interview LeBron had a few choice words for the President which rubbed many the wrong way. Which fueled the infamous "shut up and dribble" comments from a news reporter. During the creative process of this video I wanted to showcase how times have not changed at all and how transcendent athletes from then and now have used their platforms the right way by speaking out for the unheard.
