This project was challenging, notably in that my goal was to explain the contents of my bag in under two minutes so as to keep it short enough to keep someone’s attention. I realized that I do not always speak unscripted as quickly as I can read or write, especially when crafting something for an academic audience.
I attempted to share the contents of my bag in a POV format which is common on social media platforms these days such as Tik Tok or in “unboxing” videos. My intention with this redesign was that the familiarity of this format would compel those literate in this type of imagery to watch my video.
Hi Ryan I did a similar thing with my mode bending assignment in trying to make an unboxing video. It gave me a bit more respect and understanding for the difficulties of creating content. The idea of watching someone take things out of a bag is strange but somehow compelling also. I think your unscripted narration was a good choice and it feels more casual.
