Blog #14 Making the COVID 19 Diaries

I decided to do the COVID 19 diaries. I’m using TikTok as my medium. I’m video taping on my iPhone because it’s easiest for me. I plan to do 7 days of the diaries. I have a theme for each day so I can carefully plan out the videos and scenes for each day. I’m starting off with the introduction to the project. The next 6 days will look at my life before, during and after COVID 19. It will discuss the pros and cons of what it means to be an American during this time as well. I thought about doing a Word document journaling my entries, but I thought TikTok would be more creative and a better visual representation of what I do during this time. I want this to be as authentic as possible. I’ll be video taping this weekend and next week. I’ll edit and post them throughout the week as well so it’s all chronological. I think my strategy of filming over several days is solid so I’ll stick with that. I’m really glad I chose this because it helps me to get out my comfort zone and do something different. I will publish my TikTok link after having posted all the videos for my project. I’m excited to see the results!
