And another...
And another...
And a last one (perhaps closer to this week's assignment)...
Here are a few thoughts related to your Concerned Citizen project due Tuesday:
- Remember 1-3 minutes is your time requirement.
- Post the video/audio doc on your blog with an accompanying artist's statement that (1) addresses your creative process--how and why did you choose to make this thing in the ways that you did, (2) correlates your piece with concepts from the reading (Goldbard's article) and media from outside of class.
- A common mistake on this assignment is to overemphasize institutions rather than individuals. Remember that this is not a promotional video for a non-profit or whatever. It is to address an individual's involvement in their community. It should tell a story--one that will probably describe the person's engagement in their community, depict their relationships with others, and give us insight into the personal experiences and motivation behind this engagement.
- Another common mistake is to tell rather than show. Or maybe that's just a symptom of a potentially larger mistake--forgetting to merge theory with practice. Don't forget what Brad's been teaching you all semester long. While the stakes aren't as high on this week's assignment as your final projects in 185, I expect you to practice those same visual storytelling skills in this little doc.
