Individual Project Proposal

I hope to create an informative film that demonstrates how digital literacy is changing and has changed the process of electing our president. I want to look at the history of media coverage and how each progression (newspapers, photography, radio, television, internet, youtube, etc.) changed the nature of debates and the election process.

How does digital literacy effect who rules our country? Does digital literacy change or effect the people who go to the voting booths?

I plan to use Windows movie maker for this project.

Weekly Plan:
-Week 1 (now): collect images, articles, sources that may have insight or quotes that I include in my film Do the preliminary research necessary to understanding the subject.
-Week 2: Outline the film on a posterboard--including the order of every clip, etc., that I want to be included.
-Week 3: struggle and cry over the software begging it to work.
-Week 4: continuing editing and figuring out how to create the film
-Week 5: ready to be presented.
