You are creating a video. A video about what? Immigration. You place it in the last photo. YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You just need to record and place some music in your video now, and you’re all set! That’s how I made the video of my interviewee Steve who immigrated from Greece.
It was really fun making the video. It was kind of annoying though, because I had to adjust the time to all the photos and even finding the photos was hard! Let’s just say that WeVideo doesn’t have a lot of the photos I need. I also spent so much time we had to do before the video – the script with time blocks. Let’s just say, I ended up ignoring the time blocks. Finally, FINALLY, after the photos of the video, we did recording. When I went home, I recorded. Buuut, it didn’t make a peep. I made sure that I was recording it with full volume on so it was kinda strange. I remembered when I did a podcast with my friends (which was a very, very big coincidence since Mrs. Cooper picked the partnerships), this also happened when we tried to record with my chromebook. So, Mr. Mitchell came down into the wing and we figured out the problem. But the day before that was Eid so we didn’t have school and that day (which is the day I’m writing this blog post) is the day that the video project is due. Long story short, basically my video was completed one day after the due date (I don’t think that the teachers will be okay with it if I was in middle school so I am lucky). After I recorded, I put in some music and tried to do the credit but I didn’t have the links so I just named the photos that needed to be credited. I liked this project a lot!
What I learned about immigration from Steve: It is terrible if you move and you live there forever. I don’t count as an immigrant or a US citizen, I’m only staying here for seven years total for now but I DO know that leaving your family behind for only like a year is painful. I sure do hope that Steve visited them every year from then.
So, basically, doing this immigration project is long but fun. Do you know anyone that immigrated to the US?
