Immigration Movies

 

On 2/28/18 My partner Om and I finished our immigration stop motion movie. The movie is about the immigrants arriving at Ellis Island and the process they need to go through to become citizens. We worked for about two months on this project making a script, background, characters and other props for the scenes. Other groups in our class worked on different parts of the immigration process and some other facts and differences of back then and now. When working on this project I learned a few different things then just the process of immigration. I learned that 2 percent of the people who got to Ellis Island got sent back to their country because they had disease. I also learned that for some people the process of getting t their final destination like New York City or Manhattan took only an hour because they had no disease or someone was waiting for them. Some people who got to Ellis Island the process took months. This project of working on American immigration was so much fun and exciting to make movies on what we learned. down below is a video of our immigration stop motion movie.
