No one wants to watch a boring video. Creativity is a necessary component of my video project. I plan scripting out my video in a way that is funny and engaging.
My Inquiry professor is going to have to watch about 40 final project videos, so if they are not interesting, she will be extremely bored. I, personally, will not even watch a video online unless it seems funny and attention-grabbing. No one wants to read a list of facts on a topic; we want to be entertained and inspired to learn more.
What I plan on doing in order to make my video blog interesting is creating a humorous skit. I will play up the comically true stereotype of the overly-stressed college student. I find that comical over-acting is always funny. When you take a simple issue and show it in its most extreme form, it is more entertaining. For example, poor diet is something most college students encounter for many reasons, but watching someone stuff their face with junk food like an animal is an extreme and comical representation of this issue.
I wanted to make my video like an infomercial. It begins with me catching the attention of a college student and asking them if they are stressed. I then continue on to tell them that it does not have to be that way and that I will show them how to manage and alleviate their stress. Then, I have them act out all of the different symptoms of stress (like I mentioned above with the example of a poor diet).
I believe that I am taking a creative perspective of this topic as opposed to simply reciting facts and statistics at the audience. My video will be relatable, funny, and entertaining as well as informative and (hopefully) helpful to some of my peers who are feeling just as stressed as I am.
