One With Nature:
Proposal:
For this project I want to have a variety of nature photographs from different places across the island. Whether it is a beach landscape or a micro shot of a flower. I then plan on taking these photographs and putting them into a video with a song. I want this project to show the importance of going out into nature and really allowing yourself to become one with it. I also want this project to show how important being outside is for a person’s mental health. One of the goals for this project is to make it a relaxing way for the viewer to be able to take their minds off of everyday stresses. I want the viewer to feel a connection to each of the photographs in my video. I believe that if we all spent even 10 minutes outside enjoying the world around us that we would all be a little happy and more relaxed.
Outcomes:
My outcomes for this project are to really show the beauty of nature and the importance of spending some time outside. I would like to capture what a lot of people miss by not paying attention to the world around them with these photographs. I hope to encourage people to look around them and really focus on the world around them. Even if it’s on your way to work or school, we all need to stop thinking of what our next step is or looking at our phones and just pay attention to the world around us.
Materials and Methods:
For this project I plan on using a mix of my phone and my Canon Rebel camera to take these photographs. To make the video I am going to use Adobe Premiere and use a song I have downloaded from iTunes. I will take nature photographs over the course of the rest of the semester and just take photographs wherever I go.
Schedule:
I will try to take as many photographs over spring break as I can and will take more over the course of the semester as things start to grow and bloom. As for the making of the video I plan to create it as I get the photographs, so everytime I shoot I will add and take out photographs where I think they fit best.

Make the Change:
Proposal:
My other idea for this project is to interview different people and ask them what is one thing that they would like to do or achieve but are afraid of what others might think. I want to make a video compilation of the people’s responses to show that we all are afraid to do something, and shouldn’t be. I want to show how we shouldnt be afraid of what others think as long as that goal will make us happy and fulfilled. I might include some like BTS or videos/photographs of the person starting/achieving their goals but am not totally sure. I want to incorporate the song Daisies by Katy Perry because this song talks about not being afraid and not listening to the negative comments of others about our goals and dreams. I want this video to be an inspiration to others to go for it.
Outcomes:
My outcome for this project is to really show the importance of sticking to your goals and dreams and not listening to what people and the world around you say. I would like to inspire people who might be afraid to do the things that people have made fun of them for or have said “that won’t succeed” to. I want this video to allow people to believe in themselves even if nobody around them does and to have them realize it will all pay off in the end. Just take a leap of faith.
Materials and Methods:
For this project I plan on using a mix of my phone and my Canon Rebel camera to record the video. To make sure the audio of the interview is as good as it can be I will see if I can borrow a microphone from the school. To make the video I am going to use Adobe Premiere and use a song I have downloaded from iTunes. I will record the interviews over the course of the rest of the semester.
Schedule:
I will record as many interviews over spring break as I can and will record more over the course of the semester as I need them. As for the making of the video I plan to create it as I get the interviews so I can see where I want everything to go, so everytime I get a new interview I will add and take out video clips where I think they fit best. I think I might add some photographs or videos of the person trying to start up their goals to mix in the video.
