“How can you find, explore, and/or expand your passion?”

For the Explorations Project, all Juniors at Freestyle picked a skill based on their elective class to learn that addresses 21st Century Skills. For my Exploration I learned what it takes to make a music video.

This is my infographic, It explains what I learned about making a music video.

For the Explorations Project we made Google Slides presentations that represented what we learned during the unit. My slides show my process.

Explorations Product

Now of course learning so much about music videos, I had to make one myself. I am proud of how simple, yet hilarious this one is. It might just be funny to me because of my dancers, but I think you all will appreciate it too.

Here is my final music video!

Infographic

As you saw earlier, I created an infographic based on what I learned about music videos and how to make them. Here is a larger image of it.

And here is the InDesign workspace I used, and how it looked within the application.

I really liked the explorations project. I didn’t realize how willing my parents were to help me. My mom really jumped at the opportunity to help me, while my dad really didn’t want to wear a onesie on camera. This project helped me grow because it really brought me closer to my parents and it allowed me to work with my mom, which was a lot more fun than I thought, although I did get frustrated a lot. Thanks mom!

Explorations Celebration

We also made presentations. I made my presentation a more detailed version of my infographic. My infographic breaks it down into 4 steps. My presentation takes it to 8 steps, with more detail for each one.

Here, I give the presentation as I would in class.

Experimental Music

For my musical project I chose to beat box, and use the same loop station that I used for my music video. I honestly think that the song I made for my music video is better than the one I submitted for this assignment. But this one will have to do, I guess.

Here is my experimental music! (I did not use ProTools or Reason. I simply recorded the loop station live.)
