My video project will be a commercial selling french vocabulary. People can upgrade from words in other languages, to words that sound nicer in French.

My Video genre idea is ......


Iron Chef,

Yes, I will put together a 90-120 second clip that imitates the mayhem of the last minute of cooking and plate presentation that happens on the show.

The exact content is TBA but basically The plate the cook comes up with will be the historical event. As the clock ticks down and the chef pulls together the ingredients (facts, causes, lead up events) that come together to make up the main plate/dish/historical event.

I want to do a video walk through of the respiratory system. Not sure yet whether it will be in the form of a documentary like "here is airborne flu, follow her as she enters your body" or whether I want to do a movie trailer to it. In it will be how the disease flows through the system, noting the important parts that contribute to this process.

My genera will be like a wildlife documentary and the students must go out and film 3 living organisms and tell me in their video two unique biological facts about them like how many heart chambers do they have or how talk about their respiratory system. They can film something as simple as a plant, worm or as complex as a deer.

The genre I think I'm going to use is something like a vacation commercial. The idea will be that students would have to make an ad selling a dream vacation to some part of the body.

I am thinking a news report using the past tense in Spanish. Mine will perhaps be a poorly dubbed version...just to throw in a bit of humor.

I am thinking of using informercial genre and the the "slap chop," theme specifically to depict how colonization "chopped" up native canadians history, culture, land, resources etc...

The slap chop will be called the "colonial chop."

I am going to take a trip through the Digestive system. The genre I am thinking about using is probably going to be a quick and fun documentary. If that does not work, I will change it into a scary movie trailer.
