I apologize for the lateness of this post! It saved in my drafts and was never published after it was completed.
This semester, I will be producing a movie about how Black Emory Students and Cultural Organizations use social media. Here is the movie web I made in class last week:
The movie map may be a little hard to see, but I'll explain it in detail. For this film, I want to interview members of Black cultural organizations on campus, including, but not limited to, the Black Student Alliance (BSA), ASA (African Student Alliance), Black Star Magazine, and the Emory Live Twitter page.
I also want to interview individuals to get an understanding of their own personal use of social media, how they interact with other African American students at Emory using social media, and the negative side of using social media. I currently interviewed Emory senior Simone Wilson, but I also want to speak to Troizel Carr, a junior of the College, Samantha Scott, a junior of the college, Chris Richardson, a junior of the College, and possibly others if time allows. These students are some of the most visible on what is "Emory Black Twitter".
Then, I want to give my viewers an understanding of how Black students at Emory started using an online platform to create a community, beginning on Learnlink with conferences by the NAACP and BSA, as well as the controversial conference Word on the Street. For this historical perspective, I want to interview Treasure Arthur, a 2012 graduate of the college who was extremely involved in the creation of dialogue on Black Learnlink conferences.
More importantly, I want to also incorporate an important campaign that is currently taking place at Emory. Christopher Rhodes, a faculty member at the Emory Center of Ethics, stated the 50 Shades of Black campaign, which explores sexuality and skin tone in the formation of identity. Part of my video will include an external interview by Rhodes on how her started his campaign using social media.
Below are clips of the video I'll be using but it is yet to be edited for video.
