Final video project





Describe your focal topic, why you chose it, and how you went about learning more about this particular cause or organization.  Share your passion and feel free to show your colleagues the work you produced leading up to your video project.

- MOTORMVB is a non-profit organization that I wanted to shed some light on because they are wanting to grow the game of boys' and men's volleyball.
I chose it because I wanted to share what I've been working on all semester. I was able to put all of my skills from this class into another class and learn from both. I think it all turned out really well and I'm proud of myself for keeping a strong head throughout the process.

What did you learn about the affordances and constraints of video production? What problems did you encounter?  What was most fun or stressful?

- I had a lot of problems just getting the interview to happen. It was a lot of emailing back and forth and I thought it wasn’t going to happen. I had moved on to plan D and then I finally got an email back. So, I reverted back to my original plan and it all worked out!

What audience do you think this video could reach?  Where could you circulate this video and what do you hope viewers think about or do in response to your research?

 - It can reach a lot of people with this video. I was mostly wanting my audience to be sports people, but I realized that if I reach outside of that audience I could bring even more awareness to this issue. More people need to know that men’s volleyball exists and I’m proud to say that I’ve gotten the word out a little bit!

I am a... Jedi Master?

While I’m honored that Buzzfeed thinks I’m a Jedi Master, I don’t think I am myself. Yes, I’m really good at Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator and iMovie. But, that doesn’t mean anything when it comes to putting out content. Or maybe I’m secretly really good at it, but not have any idea that I am? This is where this gets tricky for me. I constantly ask myself, is this going to take well to my audience?  But then I think about my internship at WTHR where we had to please our audience, or “Jennifer” as we called them. I hope that I can figure out if I’m really good at this or not. Sometimes rhetoric is my forte and other days I forget so easily what they are and what they can do.

MOTOR MVB Focal Topic

This semester, I get to be part of an immersive learning class that is working for MOTOR MVB. Now, what is MOTOR MVB and what is the mission?   MOTOR MVB expands education opportunities at college and universities so student-athletes can receive scholarships, compete on the court, get a college education, and grow as leaders. MOTOR stands for Making Opportunities & Transforming Our Reach and MVB stands for Men's Volleyball.  On this team, I am part of the branch that does everything at the collegiate level. In January, I went to Nashville and got to shoot and report on different teams, coaches, players, parents and even the event coordinator, Vinnie Lopes who is a Ball State alum! I want to help grow the game, but I also want to help show that volleyball isn't just  a female sport. Men can do it too and they're pretty dang good at it.  For this project, I want to help improve the photo layouts and dabble a little bit in the graphics portion. We have Facebook, Twitte
