Project Proposal – Luka Zakaidze

My Research Question

How are athletes brains unique?

Message:

I want to teach and show my audience that exercising can benefit you physically and mentally which would make your brain unique from an average person. In other words you athletes usually gain motivation from worth ethic, even those who just exercise to have purpose or lose weight have their goals. Their brains become unique because they all have a goal in mind and also multi task that most people can’t do.

Audience:

My audience includes the people of new york city, people with no purpose, social media, and those who lack motivation. I want to raise awareness that it is never too late to change and build up a unique brain like an athlete to have a goal set.

The Genre: Video Essay

Plan:

To get started, I plan to find a light music for the background as I talk on the video to keep the audience interested. I will address my own experience where I didn’t have purpose when I was a video game addict. Most importantly I want to grab the viewers attention which will make the video viral for other people to be inspired. I want to set my thesis and argument because I will know that there will be people disagreeing with my research. I already have files downloaded to upload software and choices of my background song. I am definitely gonna reflect on Unit 2 to grab more details for the video essay.

Concern:

My only concern in this project is tone because as I talk to the audience my voice tone gets lower since but I am able to include main parts of the essay. I also may lack restarting the video in case there are bloopers or me failing to say something correctly.
