Welcome to the realm of cinematography! Last Friday, in my ED 270 class, I was brought into this exciting new world for the very first time. We were tasked with pairing up in groups and creating our own video to portray a message of your own choosing. I am really excited about the subject my team has decided to do; the r-word. For those of you who don't know, the r-word is retarded. The term retarded has been used as a derogatory term against people who are alter-abled mentally and physically. It has become more and more common for people to use the r-word in every day conversations when referencing something one thinks is stupid, bad, etc. This is unacceptable. Did you know that a bill was passed in 2010, called Rosa's Law, that stripped the term "mental retardation" from federal health, education and labor policy? Given this, my group has decided to create a montage of people saying words that a person could use other than the r-word. Hopefully, we can create an awesome, powerful video as we learn as a group how to navigate IMovie, video editing, and the world of cinematography.
