Your final project (50% of final grade) will be a more extensive video project wherein you demonstrate and explore (in both subtle or not so subtle ways) your newtheoretically informed stance towards YouTube–as a social networking site, as a video distribution platform, as a cultural archive, as a place of both consumption/participation/response. Burgess and Green end their book by reminding us that participatory culture is being co-created everyday on YouTube and then posing that difficult question: “How do we want to interfere?”
Your final project is your own video contribution to this question. We expect your video to provide evidence of the following:
- Automediacy/auto-documentary/nonfiction film
- presence of the filmmaker
- stance and style towards subject (film and editing techniques)
- engagement in a compelling question or inquiry
- a thoughtful approach to teaching viewers something new that they didn’t already know or assume about the video’s subject
- an informed position vis-a-vis research and evidence
