As a multimedia teacher, I believe in using media to empower students. I guess you could say I am interested in media and social justice... in other words, media that will enlighten, inform and make a difference in the lives of others. My video will (hopefully) demonstrate how media, more specifically digital video, cameras and computers, can arm students with the tools to create "meaningful media". I envision my students as "guerilla" journalists and documentary filmmakers. Sure, integrating technology and creating media projects is fun, interesting and inspiring, but I like the content to be relevant to the current social and political climate.
My video piece will consist of still images, mostly pictures taken of Philip, my 12 year old subject. The video sequence will take you (viewer) through a day in the life of a regular student transformed by multimedia and technology. I plan to narrate the story.
Before I begin any media project, I like to create a storyboard, script and shot list (when necessary) which minimizes time spent on media and provides me with a visual blueprint.
Right now, I am not sure about using music, or where it will fit. I was thinking of either the theme music from Hawaii Five-O or My Philosophy by Boogie Down Productions. Not sure yet. I should probably use Garageband and escape the copyright issues.
