In the video assignment, I had to take pictures and make a story of the immigrant’s life and how they come to America. I had to make a script first and then start planning all the other things and photos. Soon after, I had to record what I had made and finally tell the story of the immigrant.

When making the video, my experience with the script template is that it said that no slide could be more than 6 seconds even though there was no way to make a slide that is not 6 seconds, so I got confused but just assumed that it was a mistake. Also when making the script, I couldn’t really tell how much time I should use so I just made it blank and figure that out later. When selecting images, I sometimes had to upload things from google instead of the pictures they were giving me because they didn’t have accurate pictures. Also, I had to ask my immigrant for pictures and it was pretty easy because she had a lot of pictures, the only problem I had is that there were too many. The voice-over was pretty easy, except I did get interrupted a bit and had to do it again which was annoying. One thing that was enjoyable is when I was looking for pictures of my immigrant.

One thing I learned about the immigrant is what challenges she faced like starving at the beginning of when she got to America which I thought was interesting too. When creating a video, I learned that the websites won’t always give you what you want so you have to try to get it yourself, even though I found this annoying but it was still fine.

In conclusion, this project has been really fun on planning and conducting the interview. And also trying to make a video, especially on a website that I didn’t use for a very long time. So I hope that I can get better and improve later.
