Documentary Subject

For a documentary, I think it would be interesting to interview Pam VanHuffel. Pam VanHuffel was a school teacher all her life, from graduating from college at Purdue, to her retirement. Pam has seen many changes with regulations to teachings, as well with the changes students are given with technology. Pam has gotten the inside look of how technology has changed the way of teaching, for better and for worse. If we did an interview on Pam, it would be interesting to do a documentary of how educational curriculum's have changed with the change in technology throughout the years, to now. We could do the documentary on advantages and disadvantages. Questions: 1. What was most rewarding about attending Purdue to study teaching? 2. Was it easy for you to get teaching jobs when you first started out as a teacher? 3. When technology grew and started being used in classrooms, was it hard for you to continue enjoying teaching? 4. When you first started teaching, what was your favorite part of the job? 5. When you got towards the end of your teaching career, did your favorite part of the job change? If so, what did your favorite aspect of teaching evolve to? 6. Do you think all of the technology used with students today is positive or negative? Why? 7. What was the biggest change or challenge that you faced when technology took off for educating students? 8. What was the biggest challenge that you faced when curriculum would change every few years? 9. Did you catch on to the growth in technology easily? Or did you struggle? 10. Did many of your coworkers tend to struggle and be challenged with the growth of technology?

Emotion Video- Nervousness Audio uncopywrited by DM Galazy "Paralyzed"

1 Emotion Video from Morgan Talos on Vimeo.

Nervous/Anxiety Even though these images may not reflect the direct feel of someone with strong anxiety, many athletes deal from a strong sense of nervousness and anxiety before a game. They can be put under a lot of pressure from friends, family, and teammates. Many people would like to be in 'their own world' and be isolated from others to mentally prepare themselves. These pictures resemble how many athletes need music and privacy before an event to calm down their scares or fears.

Music Video Analysis

For some reason when I thought of this assignment, Taylor Swifts song, "Love Story", popped into my head. I remember it being such a story based video. Now that I look at it again, I see that it is a narrative, but I also believe it could be a little conceptual because the main girl in the video is forming concepts that this scenario could/did come true. The visual elements include pretty dull/ natural colors throughout the whole video. The light given is always noticeable. There is one outside and dark scene in the video that still shows a good amount of light for being outside. The video seems to produce the same 'shape' in the different angles of the video. Many are repetitive. I think the shape of the angles shown for us change towards the climax of the video, when Romeo comes back for Juliet. The change of angles and shape in the video relates to the change or twist in the story. Some key moments include the beginning, where you know that the female character is 'dreaming' about this scenario with her crush. Once they photograph the dream part, it has many different angles and views of the characters. They photograph close up, far away and close in, have views from below, above, and right next to the characters. The camera has a lot of movement. This story is very dramatic, therefore, dramatic and different camera angles help keep you intrigued on watching the video, as well as giving different perspectives throughout the whole thing. The video follows the song, especially in the time frame that the song lyrics are describing.
