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

In the Junior Documentary Project, students were tasked with creating a profile of a subject of their choice and use primary and secondary sources to create a clear and original perspective. We created a paper for our English class and used that as a foundation for our magazine articles and a documentary film, commercial, and website. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My profile focuses on the experience my dad, Catalin Popescu, with mountaineering and the advice he has for people. He’s a role model for how people should safely approach challenging hobbies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This projecting felt very rewarding to me because I’ve learned how to create a cohesive body of work that spreads across various mediums. I’ve interviewed my dad for the project about mountaineering and got at least two hours of footage. I had to condense the two interviews into the essentials to effectively be presented to an audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In our English class, we wrote a full profile of our subjects, which includes a nut graf, scenes, and prospects for the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made an animated documentary to highlight some bits from the documentary and share the wisdom my dad has regarding challenges. I used Clip Studio Paint to create the animations and edited in After Effects to include photography my dad took on his trips and music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also made magazines with our writing to showcase the research we’ve done more aesthetically and for easier reading. I used the photographs my dad took as well as mad my own graphic images. I used InDesign to create the entire layout of the magazine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Animated Documentary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In our elective classes, we made an extended piece of work to showcase highlights of the interview. We created trailers for our documentary projects. I chose to animate a new segment for the beginning of the trailer and compiled the photographs and clips of animation from the documentary. I used After Effects to make the trailer and ProTools to edit the narration recording.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below is a trailer to the documentary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
