In English, we spent almost an entire semester working on our documentary papers, conducting interviews, transcribing, annotating, researching. My inspiration for english was seeing all the recent news about the transgender community, I wanted to see how I could represent them in a positive light. Once the text was done, we moved on to designing our digital media articles with elements that matched the theme of the text. In Film class, we reached out to many people asking to make a documentary about them. Then we conducted interviews, shot b-roll, and started editing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the beginning of this writing process, I had a different idea of what I wanted to do. I knew I wanted to write an article about the Transgender community. So, I started reaching out to different groups in the community, and none of them had the time for the interviews I needed to conduct. After struggling for a bit, I pivoted to interviewing the parents of Transgender teens about their experiences. I was behind on the writing process because of the time I spent trying to secure a subject. After starting the long writing process, I realized that it was difficult for me to write this paper because I didn’t want to have to think about this topic, but I had to because I had deadlines to meet. After a lot of revision and perseverance, I finished my paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
