After watching the video for this week's class, I was really impressed with the one young lady who created the video about the sweatshops, and about how women working in the sweatshops are exploited. The way in which she was able to express herself was amazing and moving. Specifically, the line where she says,"They are Moms and Sisters, like you and me." That line visibly shows her sadness at the way women in sweatshops are treated and how she identifies with those women.
Additionally, using media like video allows students to reach a far wider audience, as it evidenced by the worldwide usage of the young woman's video. What better way to share your thoughts and feelings with a huge audience. Online services such as youtube allow the wide dissemination of video content as well, which further enables students to share their thought through video presentation.
Still, the most amazing thing about different students using video is how their personal feelings and thought are conveyed through the media. Another example is the video "My Barrio". The young man shows his sadness with his neighborhoods situation as he show bullet holes in a building near his house.
After watching the videos, I can see how I'd like for my future students to work on a video project.
