Our project topic was child abuse and reality TV. We wanted to raise awareness of a new form of child abuse, parents using their children to promote their own fame on reality TV. The news has covered three “well known families” regarding this topic as of late. The three families that I am referring to are the balloon boy, Octo-mom, and John and Kate plus eight. All three of these families sought fame by using their children to do so. We do not feel that is appropriate. The children do not ask for this life style.
As far as the project goes, I always enjoy doing projects where creativity is key. The filming and the project topic was the easiest part for our group. The hard part for our group was pretty much the rest of the project. We spent many hours working on editing clips, finding music, etc. We had fun and laughed a lot but we also experienced some frustration too. Some of our frustration came when the computer froze in the library or we couldn’t log in because the computer would not take our passwords. We also became frustrated when we edited clips and thought we lost footage. Saving is definitely a blessing because it would be totally devastating if we lost our video after putting in all of that time and hard work. A positive was that our group was able to meet and work in Lititz. We were thankful that we didn’t have to meet in Reading since we don’t live near by. New projects and experiences definitely enlighten you and help you grow. Boy, did we stretch and grow! I think this is like learning a second language. If you don’t use it, you will lose it. I guess I will need to do this again soon.
