Before the project

Looking at the upcoming final project, I cant help but get a little excited. I was very satisfied with how my video, which I hope will be part of my final project, came out. I think the final multimedia project will end up to be humorous. I am not sure what I'm trying to accomplish, but I am sure I want the viewer to engage my multimedia story at the many levels.
What I am struggling with most, is trying to organize my ideas and thoughts. Sifting through my abundant random ideas, I am trying to figure out the most practical and informative avenues for telling the story of the "Child Soldiers in America." I think many of the different avenues of storytelling were shot down in my own mind because they required skills that I neither knew nor had the time to learn.
I think this project will be worth while because it will allow us to do some Twenty First Century storytelling. This also will allow us to display everything we have learned thus far in the semester. When we do projects in the class, I often feel that we are being rushed, which has more to do with the 1 hour and fifteen minute time limit than the environment. But having some time in class so we could stay on track and and exchange ideas on what we are doing right and what we are doing wrong, would be very helpful.

You're definitely a storyteller. I think your project is going to be fun.

This project gives you a good opportunity to experiment. You might want to look at some other multimedia projects to get some ideas about what might work for you.
