Personal Essay Video

I created a video describing my own personal essay and I did incorporate an aspect of the Book of Mormon. I found this assignment difficult as I dislike filming myself. Also, I am not sure if this generates interest about my essay or just summarizes in a less meaningful way my essay's message. Anyway, here is the link: http://youtu.be/iMPunTTKSFk .

Family Themes in the Book of Mormon

I decided to make my video about Tori's essay, partly because I felt weird trying to promote my own essay, and partly because I really did appreciate the scene she conveyed. I hope that I did it justice!

When I did the first take, I was really just trying to figure out if I would be in the frame and how it would look, but I hadn't thought too hard about what I would say. After I watched it though, I kinda liked it. I did do another take, but it felt more scripted, so I went with the first video I recorded.

Visual Introduction

Perhaps a video recording will allow me to better express and share with you the idea behind my personal essay. My video is as original as it can be. This is the only recording I did to share about my personal essay.

Honestly I found no real struggle to share what my essay was about and how that related to the book of mormon. That may be because my content of a mission is and always has been so connected to experiences in the book of mormon. 

I felt that with only one minute available to share about my personal essay I had to prioritize what exactly I wanted to share. One minute does allow you to just ramble on and on. I had to make sure to get right to the point.
