This was a step outside of my comfort zone because I had to reach out to potential interviewees and use my connections to gather information. In this unit I made two documentaries: One for English, about the Haiti Action Committee (It ended up being about the current situation in Haiti) and one for Film, which was about the Trans community in the Bay Area. I learned many things such as how to use After Effects and how to conduct an interview. I didn&#8217;t expect to enjoy the Documentary unit because I thought it would be less creative, but I learned a lot and developed my skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"22 23 p3 Documentary IntroVid AlexS\" width=\"768\" height=\"432\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2LrtA6DUywc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">An introduction to my English Documentary: &#8220;Haiti: The Heartbeat of Black Liberation&#8221;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Film Class Production<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mockumentary: The Students of Freestyle Academy<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In film class, we learned the technical parts of making a documentary. For example, we learned how to draft interview questions, how to conduct yourself in an interview, and how to use lavalier microphones to capture sound. They ended up looking just like a professional interview. We practiced our skills by making a mockumentary. Our group was inspired by the Kardashians and we made a mockumentary about Freestyle Academy with all the drama of a reality TV show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"22 23 p3 Mockumentary AyanC, AlexS, EvaH\" width=\"768\" height=\"432\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/q8BccJNykJo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">My group&#8217;s mockumentary: The Students of Freestyle Academy <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gender Euphoria: Trans people in the Bay Area<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">For my actual Film documentary, I chose to focus on the trans community in the Bay Area. The current situation in this country is scary for a lot of trans people because of the increasing anti trans legislation that is forcing them to detranstition or denying them gender-affirming healthcare. With all the bad stuff happening now I wanted to portray the joy and community that trans people have. While that was my main focus I also portrayed some of the issues that trans people have locally. Overall it was a great way to get involved with the community and making this documentary allowed me to travel all over the Bay Area and meet other trans people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"22 23 p3 Jr Documentary AlexS MiaF\" width=\"768\" height=\"432\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Vwob6tukfwE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The final cut of my documentary: &#8220;Gender Euphoria&#8221;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"575\" src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~AlexSh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Gender-euphoria-1024x575.png\" alt=\"The words &quot;Gender Euphoria: A feeling of joy and comfort in your gender&quot; Over a picture of a graffiti-covered building with a blue sky behind it\" class=\"wp-image-543\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~AlexSh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Gender-euphoria-1024x575.png 1024w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~AlexSh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Gender-euphoria-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~AlexSh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Gender-euphoria-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~AlexSh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Gender-euphoria.png 1356w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">General definition of gender euphoria<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Click the images below to see some shots from the documentary.

I learned how to use a lot of new software that made everything even more professional. I tried out different types of media such as creating a magazine article. Studying documentaries in film gave me more of an appreciation for all the things that go into making a documentary. I&#8217;m also proud of going outside my comfort zone and contacting people I barely knew to get interviews. In the end it paid off because I got a variety of unique perspectives on my documentaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall it was a lot of work but I think the work paid off. Since documentaries are a way to show off your technical skills, they are valued when applying to colleges and jobs. It&#8217;s a valuable skill to learn how to make a film documentary and it gave me a sense of what I might do when going into a career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Acknowledgments<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m extremely grateful to everyone who allowed me to interview them. I&#8217;m grateful that I got the opportunity to learn more about Haiti as well as get more into the local trans community.  Thank you to Pierre Labossiere for in-depth education on Haiti&#8217;s history and everyone involved in the Haiti Action Committee. Thank you to the drag kings in Oakland for introducing me to my first drag show. Thank you to my teachers Mr. Taylor and Mr. Greco for giving me feedback on my projects. Thank you to Silicon Valley Pride for creating a queer and trans space that&#8217;s more accessible for me in San Jose. Thank you to my parents for driving me to San Francisco and Oakland.
