I think that this project was fun and was a great experience. One of the hardest challenges was putting together the script and what photos to use. This was hard for me because I did not get that much information on my interview but the stuff that I learned from the interview was very interesting. I am pretty happy with my final video because it is clear and good and I worked hard on it. The change that I would make if I did this project again is to ask more open ended questions to get some more information. But this project has been very fun and interesting and I am happy with how it turned out even if it is not the best. I am excited to show the video to the class get feedback and then watch other people’s Immigration video’s. I think that it will be interesting to watch other people’s Immigration video’s too so that I can learn new stuff about other countries and I will learn more about other people’s stories and compare them to Tsering’s story.  I hope they like my video and think that it is interesting like I do.

One challenge with putting together the video was finding photos that I did not have. If there was a picture that Tsering did not have or give me it was hard to find a picture to put into the video instead of the personal photo. Besides that, it was pretty easy to put together the video because I had photos. But one thing that was a little hard was finding a quiet place to record at school people were talking and at home my brothers were screaming. But I found a solution it was to go into my room and close the door and if I heard my brothers I made them go away. From putting together someone else’s story on Adobe Spark I learned how to do a proper interview and I learned some stuff that is really important and really interesting. It was really easy to get the photos on the video Tsering airdrop them to me and then I just put them in drive and went into Adobe Spark and uploaded them into the video. Putting somebody’s story together is a good experience and I had a lot of fun doing it.

 The next step in this project was to do a interview and I did it and it was a lot easier than I expected because if I missed some stuff that she said all I needed to do is just ask her to say it again. The most interesting thing about the interview is that I learned new stuff about her and her country that I never knew before. There was no issues coordinating the interview because I could do it any day at any time. I learned that Tibet was very scary from this process.

When I was doing the interview I also voice recorded it in case I missed anything and that was very helpful to me because I am a slow typer.  Also doing this interview made me realize how lucky I am and it made me feel bad for some people. This interview was a good experience and I am excited to put together the video. Hopefully the final video turns out good.

When I first found out that I needed to interview an adult Immigrant I thought that I did not know anybody that did immigrated and if I did they might not be alive. So when I got home I asked my mom do we know a adult immigrant I need to interview one for school. At first she did not think of anyone but then she realized our babysitter is a adult immigrant. I thought that it would be really interesting to interview her because I do not know that much about her country her county is Tibet. It would also be really easy to interview her because I can do it almost any day because I see her a lot.  So I thought it was my best choice but one of my only choices.

Coming up with questions for the interview was not that hard for me it was actually pretty easy. This is because whenever I thought of one question it would help me do another question and that question could help me do a follow up question. I think it was also easy to come up with questions because I do not a lot and I can not ask a question that I already know a answer for. So I can do almost any question.
