Activity #2
"Participant/Observation"
The point of view and the voice is from the author and creator of the video. Maybe the dramatic question (although not really a question) is, "I was supposed to be an observer." The emotional paradigm is the regret of making a bad decision due to being naive, young and unaware of the gravity of a situation at the time.
"Deep Water"
This story is from the point of view and in the voice of the author and creator, a woman who describes the role she is playing in her mother's battle with cancer. The dramatic question maybe could be, "Water scares me." It prompts the viewer to think, "Why did water scare her?" or "What made her afraid of water?" The emotional content is strong with incidences of the bond between mother and daughter, stress in crisis, watching a loved one suffer with illness and helping someone through a difficult situation.
"The Gift of Nonviolence"
This video is in the point of view and the voice of the creator. The essential question could be, "How did he get his father to stop beating him with the garden hose?". The emotional content includes the struggles between parent and child, the struggle of being physically abused, the struggle of being abused by a parent and the feeling of reliving a painful childhood memory.
