Multimodality

                The experience of learning multiple modes of composition the semester has been both exciting and challenging. For the interview with my father, I used a brand new flip camera and a small digital audio recorder. I then edited the 45 minute interview down to two separate clips where Charles discussed both Reecy Davis and O.A. Ray.

                In the creation of this project, my intention was to focus mainly on the impact that these two men had on my father as well as dozens of young men in the Greenville community. I made sure to keep my focus clear and concise, thereby making it very simple and an easy story to follow.

                There were several technological issues that I struggled with here, notably learning the flip camera software and Windows Movie Maker. It seemed to more of an experiment that gave way to much more creativity and movement for the next project. However, even in the struggle to learn these new modalities, what I found was a new source of inspiration in the telling of the story. As a visual person, I enjoyed using images and video to create.
