Short Film

                My previous research was done over the Syrian Refugee Crisis and the Syrian Civil war.  For my final project I want to create a video that captures everything that has been going on between the two.  I think that it would be very easy to find video footage and audio from the news stations that have been reporting on it over the last few years.  I am wondering if I should style it after a question and answer format between people involved in the crisis or just over a general timeline of the whole situation.  I am leaning toward modeling the video after a timeline because I think it will be easier for everyone in the class to follow along with it.  I think the most difficult part will be editing all the video and audio to exactly how I want it to appear.  I want it to sort of model a movie trailer as well.  A movie trailer that happens to be five minutes long rather than one and a half.  I believe creating a video would be more engaging for college students rather than giving a speech.  Speeches aren’t as fun as making videos as well, at least in my opinion.  For my video, I also plan on having music in playing in the background at some moments to lure in the audience just as a movie trailer does.  One of the other things I will have to deal with is creating a good hook for the video.  That’s what a movie trailer is all about; hooking the audience in.
