Statement of Purpose for Major Assignment 3

Senses of Purpose:

For my project, I hope to communicate the importance of surviving.  I want the audience to realize that no matter how hard life is, they have to keep living.  I hope that my audience will be entertained by my project, as well as moved.  The message in my project can be interpreted many ways.  I want to make a piece that will move the audience as well as motivate them.

Audience:

The primary audience for this assignment will be my professor and classmates in Intro to Digital Media.  I am creating this project for them.  The secondary audience will be anyone who views my video online.  We have to upload our project to an online source, I plan on uploading my video to YouTube. Any person who views my video through YouTube will be my secondary audience.  I imagine that the majority of the viewers of my project will be younger college students.  Most of the people in my Intro to Digital Media class are creative and intellectual.  I expect them to dissect my project.  The worst possible outcome is that they dislike my video so much that they completely dissect it with many many questions or silence with no questions.  The best possible outcome would be that they like my video and gave me compliments.

Context:

I will be showing my project in class.  For this reason, it must be appropriate.  While creative freedom is generally wide in college,  I will try to make my video appropriate for a college audience.  This means that there will be no foul language or obscene material.  I will be present when I show my project.  Because I will be present, I assume that my classmates will try to be polite even if they dislike my video.

Statement of Purpose:

I want to convince my audience that life is important.  I want to move them visually while leaving them with things to ponder.  Survival is important no matter how hard the situation is.  My audience will be my professor and classmates while my secondary audience will be anyone who views my project on YouTube.  I expect questions from both my classmates as well as YouTube viewers.  My project will be shown in class to my classmates while my professor will most likely view it first in her office alone.  Because I will be showing this video in a college setting it will not contain any obscene language or material.  It will however be powerful and moving.
