My inspiration stemmed from the world’s current situation, all the information I have observed and gather over the past few months. Information that ranges from the situation in yemen, the global pandemic , hurricanes, climate change etc. I just wanted to know why, what is the purpose of all this anguish, what is our purpose of living. My research is for everyone , who needs a gentle reminder that there’s hope and love. I chose both terms to speak on , because I was able to provide factual information, to educate my audience on both terms , while also providing the views of other writers. Throughout my research, I did encounter some sensitive sub-topics, that I left out of my writing, to avoid any personal triggers to my audience. I also wanted to use various genres, in which I extract my information from. While learning this during my research, it helps me understand what to include and what to exclude in my future writing based on my audience. The abundance of information is there for a reason, as the reader and writer , the power you have , to chose what goes in and what comes out , is extremely important.
With gaining a new way of thinking, it is the reason I chose to tell my piece in a way that I have never seen before. I decided to do a video , which consists of affirmations , a little background on my research , photos and videos of people , while also me being the narrator. Also , I decided including quotes from my research and asking my audience questions throughout the video, would give my video narrative video life. Choosing beautiful images , that captures the eye of the audience was also important, so that I was able to bring my vision to life. I also chose, this narrative video, because I have never done something like it before, so I wanted to challenge myself to see , if I could really execute my vision. Also, the style in which I was narrating , I spoke to my audience in a way , that would give them a feeling as if , I was infront of them speaking to them.
