This is the immigration story of Lynn Ling. At first, we had to start by making 10 to 15. Then we had to put it in timeline order. The Things I Love project was very similar. It was all of the things they love instead of what I love. We had to interview someone that immigrated here from a different country.

 I had to record the whole thing, so I can catch up if I missed out on anything. The interview had to be silent so it could be clear. We had to make 2 documents. One for the questions, and the other for the answers. Since I was interviewing my mom, I did it in person. It was a lot easier because we can focus more and do it in one sitting. We had to find a time that would work for both of us. I used my ipad to record the whole thing. I used my chromebook to type what she said. Instead of asking only the questions I wrote, I elaborated through every question. It took about 45 minutes and the interview was very successful.  

After I got all of the information, I had to write the narrative. The narrative was basically a thing to summarize the story. I also had to be in order so it would make a lot more sense when writing the script. When you were done with the narrative you would work on your script. This was when you would make slides and timing. Also you had to think about the captions on each slide. There had to be 30 slides at least, and 60 slides at the most. I had 32 slides. The timing was very annoying. If you just messed up a little, then you had to restart. The video itself had to be 3 minutes to 4 minutes. At the end when you were done with every single slide timing, you had to add all of the numbers up and see if it was enough. Then you had to bring in some pictures of your own and some stock photos. There had to be some type of actual photo of the person. You also had to choose the right caption on the slide for the photo. 

After all, the project was really hard. There were a lot of small details that were very important. If you missed one or made a mistake, it was really hard to change. I learned a lot of new things about my mom. For example where she worked. Her family members, and friends. What happened when she first got to the U.S. This project was really fun in general and I enjoyed the project a lot. The video is below!
