PROGRESS:
First off, let me apologize for missing the previous week's blog post. I put it off then realized I was going out of town with no internet connection... My bad. But as for our progress, nothing has happened since our trailer. I liked the trailers when they were presented to us, everyone had some good ideas and made some solid trailers. I didn't like how some of them were a lot longer than the 30-second timeslot that I thought we had been assigned, but it's all good. Our trailer was liked by the class it seemed like, even thought it didn't seem to be the most popular. I don't really care, it's not like it was a popularity contest or anything, but I think we did a great job and have the class and faculty looking forward to seeing our final project, which was our main goal. We are due to pick up a camera tomorrow (Thursday) from MTN, and we have scheduled our first interview for Friday around noon. I'm excited to hear what our interviewee has to say, and to finally have some media that isn't B-roll! But yeah, that's where we're at right now.
READING RESPONSE:
Every time I read something of Dr. King's, I can't help but be in awe of this man. The words he says just seem to carry such power, unlike any other speaker's from the Civil Rights Movement. Sure there were other powerful voices, such as Malcom X, but Dr. King's voice seems to stand out among the rest. I particullarly like this piece because he calls love a gift, something that I think is a good point. He's saying that poverty-stricken boys and girls have "enriched" the rest of us with the gift of love, and they did this by "rising above the cruelties of the slums and to work and march, peacefully, for human dignity." The peaceful search for human dignity was Dr. King's message, and it is presented through this piece.
