Project Proposal — Nael Ottman

  • My research question is how does technology affect people’s attention span?
  • My message to my audience is if you have a short attention span, use these mental exercises to help you increase it.
  • The target audience that I’m aiming for is people who use technology such as phones, tablets, and computers.
  • The genre that I’m focusing on is personal narrative video essay. This works for my project because I can do a documentary on myself to show my journey in increasing my attention span. Hopefully, the video will inspire others to join me. What gave me this idea is my source entry two with Kevin Roose telling us about his progress with these mental exercises.
  • As for my plan, I intend to start writing scripts and deep-diving into my mentor’s text to help me with the structure of my video essay. I will also be using capcut to edit my video.
  • I am worried about putting clips together to make the video not boring and flow smoothly for my target audience.
  • Lastly, my mentor text that I’ll be using is “#1 way to strengthen your mind is to exercise your body” by Wendy Suzuki Neuroscientist.
