こんばんはみんなさん!
1.) What do you expect to learn from the podcast project?
- To learn to communicate our ideas clearly in Japanese.
- To learn how to work together and compromise with others in my group.
- To manage group time wisely and try and create the best project possible with what my group's available time.
- To edit videos and make them appealing to a wide-audience.
- To learn more about Japanese culture through my classmates and my own group's videos.
- To practice stage presence/acting skills in the video. We want to make a funny yet believable (not cheesy) video.
2.) What does "communication" mean to you?
To me, communication is way that we express ideas or messages with other people. When I think of the word "communication" I always think of it as words or some sort of verbal exchange. But communication is far more broad than just words. As humans, we communicate with one another through body language, expression of our mood, and what decisions/actions we make.

COMMUNICATION... lack th |
In this project, we will definitely be communicating a lot because we will be filming ourselves and allowing the viewer to hear our words, see our body language, and wonder why we chose a certain piece of music or video editing technique. The hardest part of this podcast project will not be in communicating a message because we will be communicating as soon as the camera starts rolling. Instead, the hardest part of this podcast project will be in communicating our
intended message to the viewer. It will be very easy to come off as cheesy or offensive but that is
NOT the message that my group would like to convey.

I DON'T WANT TO BE OFFENSIVE OR CHEESY!! YUCK!! |
We have an awesome topic (tatemae and honne) that needs to be expressed in a comical yet serious manner. I want my viewers to learn about this aspect of Japanese culture and to see it side-by-side the America value of "keeping it real". This balance of professionalism and humor will be very challenging but I hope that we are able to communicate our theme properly.

STAY TUNED FOR AN AWESOME VIDEO!!! |
Lastly I think communication is just another word for story telling. And my group has an awesome story so stayed tuned!!
