13B: “Bippity Boppity Boo.”

I like to think I am a creative person.  My creative expertise usually lies in the addition, and overuse, of glitter, glitter glue, basically anything that sparkles.  That is more than most people.  Sadly, computers and glitter don’t mix well.  Trust me, I tried mixing them.  So when it comes to video projects, I am completely in the dark.  I can barely add music to my playlist without frying my hard drive.

My main plan for adding a high level of creativity to my final video project was “magic”.  Preferably pixie dust, only because it’s glitters. Unfortunately, in the words of Giselle from Enchanted, “I don’t know where I can find a fairy god-mother at this late hour.” So, it looks like I will be relying on the various tutorial videos found on youtube.

Luckily, I do have a rather interesting plan of creativity and how I am going to get my information across to the audience.  My topic is, “How Southern handles drinking”. So I am going to start my video by displaying Southern’s drinking policy.  Then, I will play, as a voice recording, the opinions of students who like this drinking policy and their reasons why.  After that, I will show a short skit of a real scenario where the drinking policy is at fault.  Next, I will display some research from accredited sources that says what schools shouldn't do, and,  of course, some more opinions from students.  Then, some examples of drinking policies from other colleges that are safer, and more fair.  Finally, more research, and students ideas on a better drinking policy.  

Hopefully, this creative display of information and gradual persuasion will be enough to distract people from the bland background and lack of sparkle.  Not to mention, the lack of decent music and good filming.  I will do my best, and maybe the tutorial videos will teach me something I can use.
