Bullying Campaign Final Week
This week I have managed to complete my video and make my public service announcement successfully however, some of the responses of the participants were not. My goal was to challenge the NCC community to treat others in the way they would like to be treated and to become a healer myself. I have accomplished the task of using various media pieces in order to put this video together which I am very thankful for.
In order to get my message across I posted the video on you tube and attached the link to Facebook. I allowed viewers at NCC to access this first and as it was liked and re blogged others were able to view it. The first 3-5 hours were exciting to me because I wanted to see how quickly things could spread on social networks. This was most interesting for me because I do not own a Facebook or you tube account so I was able to see a different side of these networks. In those first few hours I already had 18 views. I wondered where and who those views came from but was happy that others had seen my message and hopefully got something from it.
After the second day of publishing my video I was told that I need to have written permission from the participants that they were okay with the video being exposed to the public. Due to the late notice I was unable to receive that information before posting my video. As a result of a certain misunderstanding I had to remove my video immediately. When I came to class the following day I approached one of the teachers that had been apart of the video and was told that she was very uncomfortable with it being on you tube and Facebook. My intention was not to hurt people or to make fun of anyone by posting the video but, because she felt that she may have said something unpleasant she asked to remove it or to have the principal overlook it. I was very shocked and realized that people are so afraid to share their personal mistakes with others. As people in a christian school we know that all of us have sinned at least once in our lives. We live in a Dystopia community meaning that none of us are perfect. It was perfectly fine what she said and nobody made negative comments on the video or her part in particular.
I have seen the importance in sharing what I believe is right with others around me. It does not matter what people say. They will always be afraid to share their true stories with you and it should never affect what you believe or make you change the way you share your ideas with your community. I am not a perfect christian and neither is anybody in my school community. Although it has been a great time making this video I hope to have it up and running early next week.
Thank you so much to my English teacher for helping me with this video and experimenting with imovie!
