Blog Entry # 5.18 - Design & Plan Evaluation

One thing that I changed from my story board to my video was when a gay male was supposed to have a conversation with the person who was making fun of people. The reason why I changed that was because the actor that was supposed to play that part did not show up. My sketch of my final poster had the pictures placed differently. The reason why I did not have that in my final poster was because I did not find the photos that I wanted.

Blog Entry # 5.17 - Investigation Evaluation

The aspect of my issue that I focused in my campaign was religion(Islam) and homosexuality. The reason why I choose those topics was because I felt that they are topics in which a lot of people can relate to.
