Personally, I am not very familiar with a lot of tech products. Therefore, I couldn’t rely on my skills in movie editing and photo editing to present my argument. I had to choose the simplest way possible. Initially, I wanted to mainly illustrate on my phone that has illustration softwares pre-installed. However, I realized that I was unsatisfied with the art that was being produced through digital compared to the art produced through paper. Therefore, I had to draw on regular A4 paper, take pictures, and use editing softwares on my phone to make the best out of it. It didn’t take too much editing skills. After piecing the movie together, I wrote out a script, read from it, recorded myself reading it, and edited it into the video. Overall, it didn’t take too much effort, but it was quite different from what I was imagining. Mostly, the audience isn’t going to be able to see the process of creating the picture, only the final piece. I’m afraid the audience may become bored and ignore the point of my argument.
Since I wasn’t able to do what I initially wanted, I had to use pictures from Creative Commons on Flickr. In addition, I had to find images of the professionals that I used for the field. Those pictures were found on their respective university profiles. I credited the pictures at the end of the video, titled Sources scene. However, most of the pictures were still drawn by my hand. Due to this, there’s no need for me to credit too many sources.
The fact that you drew a lot of the images used in the video was creative and made it much more personal. This was a powerful choice in the effectiveness of your argument. I can get that the argument of your piece is that American parenting is no better than tiger parenting, and that a blend of both can be beneficial. Perhaps you could benefit from making your voice over louder, if possible, or adding subtitles to your voice over, it was a bit hard to hear/understand some words.
