Applying Creativity (13B)

Any opportunity I get to express myself I take it. Video Projects tend to be something I like to do. When it comes to working with iMovie there are so many things you can do with it. You can add your favorite kind of music, special themes, colors, effects, etc. With our last project I loved how my final product came out, but I could spend hours working on it and changing things. So this time around I am going to make my video project a little more creative.

I am doing myproject on ways to stay healthy and fit during college. The big talk about college is the amount of weight you will gain because of the food. Everyone always told me that I have to be careful because most kids gain about 15 pounds or more in their first year of college. I was so scared at the thought of me gaining weight, so I made it my goal to not be able to gain. That is my main goal this year, I want to be able to stay on top of school and stay healthy! This topic really is something I can relate to and know a lot about through personal experience. Doing this project will be fun, and easy for me because I know that there are ways to stay healthy in college if you follow some guidelines and stick to them.

Some of the possible solutions that will be mentioned in my video include, not ordering out often, watching what you eat, balancing diet and exercise, and knowing body limits at the gym and when eating. What I plan on doing with these solutions is showing the audience what they should do and what they should not through skits. Then I will have a voice over telling the audience research, and facts about foods and why you should eat healthy. Also I plan on having 2 main characters throughout the movie that will play the roles of college students but, one will make the right choices and the other will not.

I plan on going into Conn and showing all they options they have to offer, and the types of food people should be eating on a daily basis, and the foods they should try to stay away from. I will walk through the salad bar, pizza area, grill, Not only that, but I will take a look at all the possible take out restaurants and talk about that briefly.

Most importantly my main goal in this video is to make it fun, and exciting with lots of creative touch to it. I really want my audience to see how easy it is to stay healthy without lecturing them on the do’s and don’ts on college eating habits. My skits will be funny and have a comedic twist to it. At the same time I do want to inform the audience about a few points. I say a few, because the last thing I want is to bore them to death. So far this is what I have planned out but is most likely bound to change when get further into the process.
