T he documentary project was created as a tool for us to go out into the world and share someone's or something's story with the tools we have learned over our year at Freestyle. We have combined very minute of every lesson into our project to create a website, a magazine, an after effects animation video, and an essay. At the forefront of my project I have Sam and Truly Pompeii, a couple that got married three months ago. Right alongside Sam and Truly I have interviewed three other married couples, all at very different stages of their marriage.
I have learned so much about relationships through this project and it's not very common that a highschool student grows as an individual through a project assigned for school. This was my favorite thing I've ever had the opportunity to do in highschool, so I hope you enjoy what I've learned about marriages and relationships as a whole.
My overall content goal was to create an entertaining and interesting representation of my conducted interviews. When I invisioned this project, I wanted it to be a story that people got excited to learn about when I posed the question: "What keeps marriages together?". The ability to understand the highest level of commitment and relationship is something that is very hard to achieve. I have learned just as much about non intimate relationships as intimate relationships, which I did not expect entering this project. With that being said, welcome to my documentary website!
