Plan: Digital Artifact

When it came time to start thinking about ways I could go about my digital video I took three things into consideration: 1. Sticking to something I felt confident and comfortable with 2. Making sure that the filming part wouldn't be difficult to do 3. Making sure I can get my point across to my audience. With that being said I decided to write about freestyle soccer and how it has grown in popularity. I have lots of friends that play the sport and I do as well, so I figured it'd be the best route to go. I wanted the feel of the video to be more lively, so for example instead of just doing an ordinary "on the soccer field" video. That I'd film in the streets of Sacramento and initially on campus as well. When it comes to the brainstorming of this project I think it is coming together pretty well, maybe just a few miner things that can be adjusted and gone into more depth like maybe having an introduction or story line, also due to a recent knee injury in a soccer tournament I cannot be in the video. As far as time goes, I am not too sure how long it will take to edit the video because my assistant coach is helping me edit it and add in some random moments of our team at games as well. In order to get a better understanding of the genre I feel that maybe I needed to be standing on the "outside" looking in because I can see such things like the thought process behind landing the tricks they are trying to do. Overall, my injury was a bit inconvenient timing but I feel the video will be successful and it will provide me with enough material to write my essay.
