The Identity Video Project
Consider the next 2 weeks an opportunity to introduce yourselves and your life with a video that you make, edit, and present to the rest of the class!
Our assignment for the next 2 weeks is for you to develop a video that tells the viewer who you are, who your family is, where you live, and what is happening in your life at the moment.
Feel free to be as creative as possible. Perhaps you want to focus on a tradition that is celebrated where you live. Give the particulars and express the flavor of this tradition that your own community puts on it as if it were their own stamp of identity.
Anything and everything about yourself that you can talk about in a video is your starting point! Include some of the scenery from your town or village or neighborhood in your video and you can talk over it.
Pay special attention to the quality of your video (is it too light? too dark?), the fluency, tone, and smooth presentation (often called the coherence factors) that you will use to create interest in your video from whomever will watch it.
As an example, you may choose to make a video about traditional events and activities in your hometown, or village, or neighborhood.
