Video
From nice vacation to globalization

The Task:
      As the video group, their task was to create a 3 minute thematic video, using the theme of Globalization, and the topics of magical realism/surrealism, environment/nature, indigenous culture, and revolution/oppression. They had access to movie editing software, digital video cameras, and the Internet. After only five days of  hard work, the group's video was shown to the entire tenth grade. What follows documents their progress and their result.

The Video:
       The basic premise for the group's video was that two friends who had gone to Mexico in the past decide to return to see all the sights they had seen the first time. However, they find that globalization has changed Mexico. In fact, it looks a lot like Lake City Way back in their home town of Seattle. They are very distraught about the loss of Mexico's individuality.

To see what the group has to say about the video...

The video group is hard at work brainstorming ideas, trying to figure out what they were going to show in their video. They began filming right away. They shot footage for the introduction sequence which consisted of  two of the group members walking down the street and ending up at someones house. They also shot some still pictures.
