Hello,

A while ago in PLP 9, we were about to go to Seattle for field school, and after that we would do a big project on that trip. The project would be a video explaining how a certain group or company is different from the rest. But before all this, we did a mini version of this project to make sure we were ready. Our teachers showed us a video that was an advertisement for Apple in the 1997 called Think Different.

It features many public figures in our history that have stood out and changed the way we look at the worldview. For example, Muhammad Ali, Albert Einstein, Amelia Earhart, Martin Luther King Jr, and many more like them. In class, we had to choose from a big list of people like them to do videos on why they “Thought Different”. My person to do the video on was Muhammad Ali, and why he was different from everyone else.

Because we had to compete for our people we wanted, I was excited to do the video since I got the person I wanted, Muhammed Ali. When I started, all I knew was that Muhammad Ali was a good boxer from a while back, and he just recently died. I started my research with watching videos about his life and boxing career and what he did that was crazy. I found out so much more about his life and who he was.

To start off the actual video creation, I do what I almost always do with Explain Everything’s, (a video app), I make a script and then record all my audio first. Then I go in and add in photos and clip art that help bring the video alive and explain what I’m saying in a visual way. The entire video took me almost four hours to create, when it is only four minutes long!

Because I enjoyed the topic, did my research well, and came out with a great finished product, I was very proud of myself because I, all by myself, created my first four minute long video from scratch.
