My proposal for the project will be on my essay, Running Long Distances-Why Do We Run. My audience will be CUNY students and I will attempt to do this in You-Tube form. I’ll be reaching out to my niece Amanda Lee Domenech who is a Photographer, Videographer, and a media expert. She is a self made entrepreneur. I’ve attached an example of her You-Tube style that I would like to incorporate in my project. She utilizes, pictures, text, sound effects that I am striving for to reach my audience. I am no expert nor do I have experience in this area of multimodal media. This will be an enormous challenge for me.
I choose to hopefully narrate, use Instagram images, and maybe have some runners saying a few things from their own media post. I envision these other sources as intercepted flashes during some of the narration accompanied with sound effects. It should not be boring. It should be fun, engaging, exciting and visual. I may have assistance in the narration. I am not sure. I just know it’s key for the person to have great public speaking skills. Not a skill I attest to have, nor have I had to utilize this skill. But it’s something that I would love to learn and improve. I can only have positive gains acquiring this skillset as it does improve your confidence and challenges you to deliver information that you know and have researched. Communication skills are vital in everyday life. I foresee this project to be instrumental in future class projects that I may have to do throughout my studies.
