Instructor: Prof. Doug Moody
Assignment: Digital Memoir
For the multimedia project, you will be working individually to produce a "Digital Memoir." This short multimedia project using digital video may NOT exceed FIVE minutes in length.
You will need to make both editorial and aesthetic decisions in order to tell a compelling (and CONCISE!) story. Your mini-documentary must weave some voice-over narration and/or text with still and/or moving images. Additional possibilities are to include interview excerpts (videotaped and/or audiotaped), recordings of speeches, music, and sound effects. You may also wish to use some previously recorded short excerpts from films, television, and other sources of electronic media. You may decide that you would like to speak with some people at Dartmouth and conduct some interviews on campus with professors, students, staff members, or administrators. Or you may decide that you want to interview people beyond the Dartmouth community. The possibilities are vast and are only limited by time, resources, technology, and your imaginations.
