Educational Videos

Rebecca - So far I have written the lyrics and Aaron has written the music on guitar for our educational video on Gay Rights entitled "Who's To Say." It is coming along great and I have filmed short clips of couples holding hands, expressing their love, etc to dub over the music video to interest my audience even moreso. Today, Aaron, Xiaosiqi, and I collaborated to help each other on our projects and we starting filming us singing the song in a music room. We will have to meet again to get a cleaner version of it, but some of the clips are very usable.

Aaron - Aaron has been researching his topic more in depth to find facts on the history of blues to present in a video fashion. He will be playing clips from original blues songs and will show pictures of blues artists. His voice will dub over it as he explains his topic more thoroughly. It is coming along well but much research is needed.

Xiaosiqi - His video, on second language learners, will film American speakers attempting to speak and understand a unique paragraph in several different languages. We started working on this after class on Thursday and were able to get a few students to read the paragraph aloud. This demonstrates the difficulty in speaking a language not native to your own, while creating a comedic relief to the film. The video clip will end featuring Xiaosiqi explaining why is it so difficult for foreigners to speak english (i.e. syntax, grammar, symbols..) and will give a summary of his findings in the research he did. It is coming along well.

All videos will be recorded using iMovie on Macs to ensure only the best of quality.
