I took this picture one day on my ride to Baruch.
At first sight the digital essay part of our third paper scared me. I’m not great with technology and had no idea what I would do. After thinking about it for a few days I’ve come up with something that I think I would be able to do.
My poem is about New York at sunrise and how peaceful it can be. This brought be to think of my ride from Brooklyn to Baruch. I take the x28 which goes through some very quiet streets in Brooklyn and Manhattan. I get to the city really early in the morning, before all of the chaos sets in, which is what I pictured when I first read the poem. For my paper I would like to explain the different view of the city that the author portrays. The author shows a quiet and mysterious city, which is what I would like to show in my digital essay.
I think I will film my ride to Baruch to visually express my point of view of the poem. My only worry is how to do film it and edit and upload, which I will hopefully figure out once I do some research. If anyone has any tips on how I can do that, I would highly appreciate it ! I was planning to use my camera to video it but I’m not sure if I would be able to edit it and how I would upload it.
