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


“How do you creatively and truthfully portray a significant person, group, place, idea, or issue in the community?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this year’s Junior Documentary Project, I portrayed an intriguing person and place while gathering primary and secondary research sources to develop a unique perspective about my subject\u2019s significance in the community and world. The research-based paper from English serves as the copy for the magazine article in Design and a film, commercial, and website. This unit emphasizes narrative-style journalism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For my documentary, I researched my family’s experiences in Yosemite National Park. My vision for all three of my freestyle classes was to produce something beautiful that really captures Yosemite as a whole. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall I am really happy with what I produced and this unit this year was by far my favorite. I learned so much about my family’s experiences in Yosemite National Park and how it shaped my love for nature as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Research Paper<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In English, we took our interviews, made a transcript then turned it into a paper that showed my dad’s memories of Yosemite. I learned so much about stories my parents told me like encounters with Sugar Plum the bear and barn dancing on Saturday evenings.

Intro Video & Magazine Article <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In Digital Media, I did two main projects, my Intro Video which was a short commercial for my final full-length documentary film, and my 6-page Magazine Article. Here is my Intro Vid which describes my Dad Paul, Aunt Lisa, Grandfather Robbert, and my dad’s friend Mike’s encounter with Sugar Plum the bear while camping in Little Yosemite. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
