Final Project

At first, I have no idea what should I do for this final project, but after looking at all the photos in my iPhone, I decided to use those photos to make a short video to document my life in OSU.  Since I bought my iPhone just before I came to the USA, so all of the photos in my iPhone were taken since I entered in OSU.  It is like my iPhone accompanied me, experience my university life together with me and document my life for me.   Before I started this project, I think this could be a review of the passing year in OSU, which will be extremely precious and meaningful to myself, so I was very passionate about this project.  

Then I started to make this short video.  When I chose photos from my photo album, I feel like I was looking back my passing year.  And I smiled when I looked at some pictures.  Also, I categorized them into my first Halloween, my first Black Friday shopping, I went back to China during winter break and my grandma's birthday, I traveled to Orlando in spring break, my dad came to OSU visit me as well as my 20th birthday.  I wrote some key words to introduce each picture.  I really enjoy in making this project, this project makes me think my life in OSU is not that boring, and it is kind of unique and interesting.  I also chose a song named “Journey” as my background music; I think this song is very appropriate here, because my study abroad experience is really a exciting journey.

When I completed this project, I am very proud of it.  I like to share it with my friends.  And I really like the last picture which is a line “to be continued…”, and the background music fitted very well here.  I think this is also fill the requirement “Please remember that you need not know how the narrative ends, just how it begins”.  After all, I believe this short video is not just for this course’s final, but also for myself.  I will be very happy that I made such a video when I graduate.
