I like my midterm video. I think I did a good job on it. It had a clear beginning, a full middle and an end that tied everything together. It included all the necessary information about volunteering on campus that most freshmen are unaware of. I interviewed two staff members and five students and quoted them throughout the video. The length was just over the minimum time limit. Since I did meet all the requirements, and the video was well produced and submitted on time, I would give it an A- grade.
I know most college students are very busy but, volunteering is very important and easy. I tried to stress this in my video. I asked all the students I interviewed what are the reasons they didn’t volunteer on campus. That is exactly what I formated the video around. When students watch the video, I want them to related to the excuses and see the answers. Hopefully, some students will realize that volunteering on campus is good for the community, easy to get involved with and will benefit them when they begin to apply for jobs.
I admit, my midterm video isn’t perfect, that is why I only gave it an A-. Since this project was assigned in the middle of the first semester, during the time when everyone is preparing for midterms, there were no volunteer events or fundraisers. Most club meetings and events were put on hold until after this crazy, stressful time was over. This was bad news for my project because, it made it impossible for me to get any videos of students volunteering. I had to resort to old pictures from previous years and events. Unfortunately, most clubs, especially clubs that are very busy with outreach and servicing the community, don’t have the time to update or even add photos on their social media sites such as, collegiatelink, facebook, twitter, and instagram. This left me with very few pictures of events and information.
