Introduction to Digital Story 2
1) What is your Topic: Cultural Festivals
2) What is the time period of story: Modern day
3)List the major points, facts, events, people, and/or ideas of your story: The Major ideas are to expose people outside of this experience to cultural festivals and show them part of a culture that is not their own (so they can learn to respect outside cultures).
4)Why do you feel this story is important to tell? Hmmm, well...I guess it's a redeeming thing really. I strongly dislike when people call me a loser just because I respect culture. So...I guess I want to show them that there's a good reason to respect it so that they can understand and stop judging cultures that are not their own.
5) What are some challenges of telling this story? (hard to find information, personal, etc) Well, the most difficult thing to do would be to explore the cultures myself. I respect and admire all cultures, but Japanese culture is really the only one that I've been extremely exposed to. So, to do this I have to expose myself to a lot more cultures (Which I'm really excited about doing) ^o^
6) List some images that come to mind when you think about this story? Well, for starters, I'll have to get pictures of the geography of certain areas that are going to be mentioned in my story. I'd also have to get pictures of the things most important to that culture or things crucial to their cultural gatherings (Ex. Religious symbols, lanterns, cultural attire, balloons, food). After that, I would like to get footage of actual festivals in progress (and i'll explain what goes on during the festivals and what the purpose is).
7) How does your project relate to our CSI Graduate Portfolio? I believe that this project relates to all aspects of the graduate profile, whether it be cultural or otherwise. It proves my exposure to the outside world, and my knowledge of it as well. It shows my ability to use technology in order to make a point in society, and that I'm willing to cange he minds of others for the better. It really just shows that being in CSI has made me more aware of who I am and who I want to be.
