Reflective Post #4 - 2016

Hello!
In my English class, we students have learned the growing importance of technology in any situation. With the development of our technological skills, we were required to make an "advertisement" video on the career of our choosing. I chose Psychiatry, as this career has been an aspiration of mine for a while. Using the Common Core standard SL.9-10.5, I created a career exploration video that can be found on the Digital Pieces tab.
The standard SL.9-10.5 requires the strategic use of digital media to enhance understanding, reasoning, and evidence to interest the viewer. In creating this project, I had to first complete thorough research on psychiatry itself. I was then obligated to interview and shadow two different people in the field to add a real and tangible aspect to the project. I finally put all elements together in an RSA animation video to cohesively tie my research and work into. I added visual media as well as audio to attract viewers interest. I also made sure to draw visually interesting pictures to bring my script to life. My goal was to inform the viewer and to draw in their interest, and I feel that I have accomplished this in this video that I am very proud of. You can even observe my growth in video making, as my project last year on a person who inspired me (also in the Digital Pieces tab) was not up to par.
Thank you for reading this post and I hope you enjoy the rest of my work!
