Immigration Project

My whole class had interview someone about their story and life. I knew I was going to do my project on my grandfather, Bhal but he had died ten years before I was born.

This was my first challenge because I couldn’t ask for very exact details but his wife and son were happy to tell me everything they could.

The first part of the process was making the questions that I was going to ask them and this wasn’t that difficult because I wanted to know as much as I could. I interviewed my grandma first and she knew much more then I thought she would about his journey. I then interviewed my my Dad and his answers were very heartfelt and had more detail on his personality. Using the answers I had I made a narration on his journey and it was difficult to not just state the facts I knew about him. I was able to make it more like an actual story and then I had to make a script for my video from my narrative. Next I got a crazy amount of images from my grandma who had multiple photo albums. Next using adobe spark I had to combine my script and images to make the final video! When my dad watched it he cried from joy because it made him remember his dad.

I learned a lot about my grandfather and his personality and I got to learn about how other people thought about him after he died.

This was an amazing project and I really liked making it.
