Here is a presentation me and my group worked on to promote Matone De Chiwit

In the play Taming of the Shrew written by William Shakespeare, a man by the name of Christopher Sly, goes to the Pub and orders a drink and another and another until he’s intoxicated and passes out in a ditch soon to be found by the lord and his huntsmen. They decide to mess with him, so they bring him to the Lords house and lay him in the finest chamber. Then the play begins.

In this project Sarah, Paris, and Kelsea. Sarah provided the technology and props, worked on storyboards, most editing, photographer, moved characters and did voice over. Paris did the treatment plan, photographer, and built tavern. Kelsea photographer, moved characters, worked on storyboards, wrote title cards and did voice overs. In this project we used Stop Motion app to create the animated video of the induction scene from Taming of The Shrew instead of a film or stage performance, animation was used to bring a new light to this particular stage play. A definition for Induction is, (used in this context) the introduction to the inset which is the play that occurs within the play. A couple challenges we encountered during production was consistency, lighting, time, lack of knowledge in the area, and so on and so forth. We worked through all of these difficulties with teamwork and perseverance. During this project we all learned that stop motion is a very difficult platform to use and that we have to spilt the work evenly so not one person is doing the majority of the work…

We contacted Karishma Bhagani and she told us all about her experience creating her $10 water purifier. She is currently a student at NYU but this chat was about her experience in Kenya. Her goal was to create clean drinking water for those in need of it, and the project was named the Matone De Chiwit project. I thought this was a great opportunity to have a guest speaker without having them come in physically. A fantastic learning experience for us and I would love to have more people Skype in.

Some of the questions my group and I had prepared were:
What influenced you to initiate this project?
How long did you live in Kenya?
Is Kenya overlooked when it comes to being a country in need of assistance?
Has your message on water reached enough people compared to your original goal?
Are there any other countries you plan on helping?

I learned in more depth about the water shortage worldwide, her experience and the people she had the chance to meet, and about the trials she went through to complete her project.

My digital footprint is important, because it is what defines me online. If a future employer or anyone looks me up and finds something unsatisfactory, it could affect my future goals and plans. If I want to keep my digital footprint safe I can think twice about what I put out online because once something is posted on the internet it can never be truly deleted. I can make sure I’m not tagged in anything that could affect my footprint and lastly I can occasionally look myself up to see what others might see and correct anything I find unsatisfactory. I have to be aware of what I put out there and so should everyone else!
