Digital Media Project Proposal.
My proposed idea for the Digital Media Project is a recount and continuance of my own journey through fitness and crossfit. I have collected a lot of data from online websites, youtube videos and personal conversations with health and fitness trainers/experts plus more which have helped significantly for me and others.
I will be producing my project as a:
an original long form online essay or digital story (minimum 800 words and including links, video audio and images where appropriate).
This form will allow me to share videos, pictures, link and people that have helped me through this as well as have a written story. Choosing something so close to myself gives a lot of enthusiasm towards the subject.
I have pictures from work outs and achievements through out the time, as well as websites which really pushed me through the mental barrier.
Strengths: I have a fair amount of knowledge in the area I am doing my project on. A lot of my photos or links have already been found, because it is a recount. Because of this hopefully someone will learn something from it, this is my strength now. Also, using a variety of digital images etc would make the story much easier to portray.
Weaknesses: I don't know how to embed video’s into a page. Currently, my recording devices lens is broken, and i cant record videos. Sometimes I can’t use words in a way that can show my feelings toward something without over doing it, as my format that i have chosen has 800 words, this may be the hardest part.
Opportunities: This gives me a lot of enthusiasm to find more things that can help. Or achieve more goals. Which one would be a gymnastic muscle up, it is a great feat and I will love to be able to do one for this. I found a slow motion video.
Threats: Fitness is something I like to do as an escape. Most of my achievements come from being pushed from an event in my life. And in this point in time, my life is pretty easy no real frustrations to push me. I have assignments due around that time, although this project is more intriguing, I will have to keep on top of my schedule.
Ive prepared my schedule over a 6 week period starting next week.
Bring together all information previously found, and create a timeline referring to either months and cross-index to struggles or experiences. Start working on that muscle up
Start writing the written part of the project.
Do searches for similar journeys to see how things are tied together.
Continue on 800 word story adding in places for links and photos.
Figure out how to lay it out, and start putting pieces together.
Get opinions from others of readability or attraction. Tweak. Hand it in.
