City Girl Rants

My video project is a video diary entry, I used my voice as if I was writing in my journal thinking about and talking about my father in 2009-2010. I feel like I can definitely add more to my video, I would like to expand the ending a little. I would also like to edit my video transitions, in order to make my video stronger. I feel like my video was a great final project because in cooperated documentary style video with a narrative video, e I really struggled to find my voice and try to open up as much as I can in front of a camera. Also I used what I learned from video mash-ups, as well our collage project inorder to finish this project. Even though this is a shorter version of a longer memorial movie I plan to do in the future (also more personal), interviewing and searching for images and videos took alot of time. So I am very proud of my detective work!!

Lastly,

I do not know if this would count as a documentary but possibly a film on my father? I am currently working on this on my own. I have about 8 different interviews I have conducted with my family members. I have over 100 pictures as well as beginning of a narrative. Maybe I could get Alcee’s help ?
