So far my paper has made huge strides; it went from being uncollected thoughts jumbled up on a peice of paper to a more structured way of writing. Thanks to the one-on-one with Ms. Kaufman I do know where to take my paper, the problem is I feel that my thesis is not clear enough. My message can be very broad and when I try to pin point it I find that it can go in many different directions. So I am struggling with that, I am also still looking for a good source to support my new train of thought and main points. The paper is definitely not ready but it’s on its way there and I really think it may be my best one yet, I’m excited for it!
The digital essay all depends on what I decide to be my main thesis, because like I said my broad general thesis can go in many different directions. I have already started filming but since I’m not a video person I’m struggling putting them together. I’ll eventually get the hang of it since I’m a fast learner but what I am aiming for is to record a majority of different races, class, and gender for my video; that will help with my message. The kind of editing I want to do is going to be difficult but I need it to be THAT kind of editing because that’s what makes the video. I am also planning on borrowing the schools camera just to get the defined HD clips.
