We had to make a video explaining the immigrant’s life immigrating and add pictures of them when they were little in their old country. I got many pictures and surprisingly they were not very blurry because the cameras when my grandma was young were not very good. Also, we did not have as much time as we wanted for each slide so we had to make it quick.
My process in the video started with adding the title and pictures. But when I had to add the voice over I found out the script was too long and had to take most of it out. I didn’t add any pictures online because my grandma gave me a lot. I put a lot of effort into the video and it took a long time but still was fun. One thing that was challenging was all the glitches with my video and getting the photos into the video.
One thing I learned about my immigrant was that she had a stepmom and a stepbrother. I also learned to be more patient for example when I was asking for photos it took a bit of time to look for them. My interview was over facetime and it worked out very well. Even though my grandma could just come to my house whenever she wants because she’s retired it was much easier to do it on call.
Overall this project taught me a lot and was very fun. I hope we have projects like these moving forward and hope to learn more about this topic because it is very interesting. I love learning about my family and all the details anyone has faced when they were a kid.
