In this assignment, we were told to choose a third-world country and figure out why they are not thriving like in the United States. In our case, we chose Zimbabwe to research. After choosing our country, we needed to make a plan on what this country needed to do different to get out of poverty. This assignment was fun to produce but very time consuming and tiring. We got up very early in the morning to film and stayed up late at night to finish editing. This project is meaningful to me because I am proud of the end product because of all the time and effort we put into making it. I now know how hard it is to fix a country with the things they already have and it may be impossible with other countries taking resources away.
In this project, we had to choose or make-up a political party and make a political campaign AD for this party. We had to choose 4 topics that our fake party believes in. This project was meaningful for me because we spent over 15 hours to finish filming this 2 minute campaign and another 7 hours for me to finish editing this video. I feel that we put in so much effort in this video, that it is special to us now. I learned how hard it is to film in the rain and how long it takes to edit a very short video.
