Blog 7: Reflection on Process

While in the process of creating my documentary I have recorded some videos and found some youtube clips to include.  I have also done more research on my issue and have found sounds to imbed into the background of my documentary.  I am looking forward to putting together everything for my documentary and seeing the final project.  While researching I have learned that many people mis-use the word retard or make fun of Special Olympics without thinking about who they are offending.  The saying "spread the word to end the word" is the issue I am addressing in my documentary.  This saying is a national attempt to encourage people to stop using the word retard because it is offensive and dehumanizing to people with intellectual disabilities.  I find writing a storyboard is very difficult for me because it is hard for me to picture exactly what I want for my documentary to be like.  I think as I continue to collect more video footage and go to the media hub in the basement of the library I will have a better understanding of how I want my documentary to be.
