Week 7

Assignment- our assignment for this week was to get into a group and decide on a story with these 3 components:
1) one person is waiting 2) another person is traveling 3) and one of them is giving the other a package/gift.

Craft-after picking a group to work on this project with, we spent a week apart for spring break and then talked about our different ideas and elaborated on the idea we decided on. we wrote down the different slides we would have, and on a separate piece of paper, we wrote down descriptions of each. Then we needed to decide how we would get the different pictures for the story board. there is a young couple in our story, so one of my group members decided she would take the pictures of the younger girl and i would take the pictures of the young man.

Composition- our story is about a pregnant teenager who is scared to tell her mom and dad about the pregnancy. the audience doesnt know she is pregnant until the very last slide, tho. her belly is always hidden. after telling them, they kick her out of the house. she decides she will visit her baby's dad who in the marines. the gift is the baby. she is also nervous about telling her baby's dad because they are no longer together, but she had no where else to go, and she hadn't seen him in a while, so she wanted to see him. when he finally discovers shes pregnant, hes shocked, but still accepting and happy to see her and her news.

Concept- our message is that parents who are not understanding to a teenage pregnancy and kick the kid out is just putting more stress on them. this is another reason why kids are pressured into getting abortions. they know their parents wont be accepting of this. also, we are saying babies are gifts and we should be happy when they enter the world, no matter the circumstance.
