This unit was about expressing ourselves individually & in a group by making a video. It was also about how people can express themselves in different ways with different things in their videos. Our video gave a look into how people with different interests and backgrounds can manage to get along. Our video also showed several ways in which we interacted with each other.

2b. For each video, there had to be a certain topic to it. We had, “Fringed topics.” Since we had a tricky topic to work with, we had a difficult time making the video. We decided that we should just express ourselves in the video. After making the video, we looked at it together and found out that the video would reflect on fringed behavior rather than fringed interests.

2c. As explained in the previous paragraph, our topic was “fringed topics,” but we changed it around to make it fringed behavior. Key points & focuses of this topic were self-expression, honesty & interest in the actual assignment. After having writers block & collaborating, we finally decided to focus on the self-expression part.
