For my Remix Project, i decided to go for a informative video on youtube because i wanted to create something that could go hand in hand with my research based project to drive my main ideas even further. For this remix, i decided that i needed to make my argument about debunking some common misconceptions people have about immigrants because in my opinion, that is the biggest factor hindering our government from passing pro-immigration reforms. Ever since i wrote the intro from my research based project i was envisioning the scene in my head over and over again. It just had a potent effect on people and i thought it would be an amazing introduction to my remix project as a monologue to an airplane clip. I decided to make the tone more deep and slow, with emphasis on certain words. I used these techniques to incite pathos and get the audience to take me seriously. But i also included clips of a South Park character and Donald Trump to help reach a younger audience who could understand the foolishness of such figures (Also helps wake up my audience). I also included an infographics which helps put the statistics i provide the viewers with into simpler terms [logos]. All in all, i feel like my remix project did a great job in supporting the bigger picture my research project was trying to make.

Looking back at the entire process i would have to say the hardest aspect was getting my voice recorded without embarrassing myself. In addition to that, i had to synch the entire video so that my voice would match up with the text in videos. It was a very time consuming process but that was my favorite aspect, just making the video. I personally love creating content on my computer and this was an enjoyable experience for me. I feel like my argument was on the strong side but maybe i could work on the creativity?

My question to the class would be,

How Strong is my Argument and How Well do I Make it?

Reality of Immigration
