Introduction\"\"<\/h2>\n

To kick off 2019, Freestyle challenged its junior students with what could be considered the most challenging unit of the year: Documentary. We were challenged to focus on a specific person, group, place or event in our local area and document them not just in an entertaining way, but in a way that would educate the audience of something. In order to accomplish this, we had to research and gather primary and secondary sources. For the first time, I gathered my own primary sources which came from conducting my own interviews.<\/p>\n

I decided to profile my mom, Christine Bauer for my documentary. She was enthusiastic to participate and gave me a lot of inspiration and insight as I brainstormed my ideas. I interviewed her, her dad (my grandpa), and my sister. One might wonder why I only ended up interviewing family members, but I am very content with the outcome and quotes I got for my research-based English paper. My mom was going through breast cancer, and I wanted to depict her journey in a beautiful and positive way. Thank to her, my peers, and the directions from my teachers, I feel completely fulfilled by my documentary’s outcome.<\/p>\n

This animation took me the longest out of any of my other productions. In addition to animating every frame, I also wrote and recorded my own guitar background music and edited my mom’s 30-minute interview into nearly 2 minutes of audio. I hope you enjoy the outcome as much as I enjoyed making it.<\/p>\n
