Week 9 Activity #2

I somehow missed this activity!

1. Point of View. The point of view in this story is from Marianna, a daughter of immigrants who fought to become successful in the United States.
2. Dramatic Question. The dramatic questioned involved the type of home that Marianna grew up in and how her perception had changed through two incidents.
3. Emotional Content. This story contained a lot of emotional content. When Marianna describes the confrontation with the "big white man," I could feel her fear. When she discusses how proud she is of her parents, siblings, and self, I could relate to her feelings of empowerment.
4. Voice. The narrator's voice was calm. She told her story in a very informal manner that helps the audience better understand her point of view.
5. Soundtrack. There was no music in this video, but I think that the lack of music helped to contribute to the message that Marianna wanted to convey.
6. Economy. Marianna did a very good job of focusing on the important message. Her message was simple and powerful.
7. Pacing. I think that this digital story was paced appropriately. The narration and images were wll-timed and though provoking in their presentation. The story wasn't rushed and it captured my attention throughout the entire film.
