If You Need to be Reminded that People with Disabilities are People, We've got a Problem

"People First Language (PFL) is about respect and dignity, and it puts the person - not the condition – first. Like gender and ethnicity, disability is one of many characteristics of being human. People First Language is not political correctness, but good manners! Would you want to be known by one trait, like your medical diagnosis?"

We used the camera and took some photos and videos using the different camera movements. We also interviewed some students and they told us about their disability and what they like to do for fun. Students were very busy with finals, so it was difficult for us to record them. We had some issues with the sound of the fan in the background so we had to adjust the volume of the different interviews so they didn’t sound differently. We thought that doing a little introduction about the theme will help the viewer understand what this project is about. We took a video of the Corn Hole Tournament because it was the perfect time to record all of the students together. Editing this video was much faster and easier due to our knowledge after the midterm project.
