Capstone Blog Post 3

For my Capstone project, I decided to go with an Adobe Spark Video or a “Movie.”  For the most part, it was pretty easy making the video itself but it was difficult to upload it to the final projects in Google Drive. I look forward to seeing it on the web because of all the hard work that was put into my Capstone project. The thing I enjoyed the most throughout this project was being able to find and research all types of information.

My main inquiry question is, “What was the range of entertainment available during The Great Depression?” Well, after lots of research and an interview, I have come to the conclusion that there were a lot of types of entertainment but not all of it was available to each family. For example,  some types of pastimes were too expensive so people made their own ways to have fun. Movies and sports were two of the cheaper, more popular activities during the Great Depression. Movies were very popular because they were entertaining, cheap, and, overall, a fun way to spend time with your loved ones.  Sports were also quite popular because they were cheap, fun, and an easy way to escape the harsh reality of life during hard times.

Now I could keep listing forms of entertainment but you get the point. The entertainment enjoyed during the Great Depression all depended on how much money your family had and if you were white or not.
