The way that my plans are going for DMP2 is that I'm mainly basing it off of my photo essay (DMP1), but I'm adding a couple of things to the end of it, so that way I can give my DMP2 a more personal aspect and then put it all into a video form. The reason why I chose it to stay the way it is but add a couple of things is because I had it set up that way from the beginning, plus once you have a plan it's usually good to follow with that plan that you've already started. My storyboard is the same exact thing as my photo essay(DMP1), which is why I chose not to make a real storyboard for the video form(DMP2) because it would've definitely been pointless to do so. I didn't have any questions to ask but I do have a problem with trying to mention that past part of my photo essay(DMP1) into my video form(DMP2) because that's the part that mentions Commerce, TX and is highly needed. But other than that, everything else is going pretty smoothly.
What they said in that scene, the other women asked
“Do all the women in the bureau have to wear those really masculine shoes?” and
Sandra Bullock said “Oh! No!I get
these made special by the same guy who put the tattoo on my ass!”I think that the other women was being
a feminist when she asked that question because of the fact that she thought
that Sandra Bullock looked ugly in those shoes or she thought that she looked
ugly altogether.That is one of
the many forms of feminism at its finest moment in the world.I also believe that the other women
just thought that Sandra Bullock was just an object in the FBI, like she
doesn’t go on any undercover cases.And she just sits at a desk and does paperwork which at the beginning of
that movie “Miss Congeniality”, her boss ordered her to do desk work cause she
screwed up an undercover op, so it was basically like she was an object because
of the fact that her boss was a feminist.Her boss felt like women shouldn’t be out in the field in the first
place but it was the FBI so he had to treat everyone as equals whether he was a
feminist or not.
" Feminist to see if women have talent or the
success of increasing womens’ self-esteem?!”
This
picture is basically about the fact that the movie “Miss Congeniality” was
based out of San Antonio and Austin, Texas.But this picture is also dealing with the fact that a lot of
people do not think that the talent portion of pageants to be degrading towards
women, which most feminists thought that.But the talent portion of the pageant, I believe that it can raise
women’s self-esteem higher because they believe in their self that they have
something that is special to them, which is apart of who you are a person, as a whole.

“Do some or all feminists believe in material
items?!”
Most feminists do not believe in material items like make up for
example.In this picture Sandra
Bullock was very grouchy because she hadn’t slept in 2 days and people were
poking and prodding her for those 2 days, which she hated.She also was a feminist because she
hated to wear make up but then once she was forced to, she understood the
reason behind the fact that a lot of women want to wear make up and yes there
are a lot of those reasons as to why we do.
There are many ways that the article that I chose for my last post is relevant to my digital multimedia project. That article is completely relevant to the development that I want to take for the direction of my project. The reason being as to why it does is because of the fact that it deals with the feminist side of pageants and the females that do pageants. But what people don't realize is that they aren't just beauty pageants cause they help women to want to get a higher education in their life. Feminism is a big problem in the world back in the day, compared to today's world.
"Feminists at the Miss America Pageant" and "Feminists turn the Miss America Pageant"
Back in the days of 1968, people believed that pageants were
creating feminism.But what they
don’t know is that pageants were meant to help better women in a positive
way.Also, the pageants were meant
to influence women to get a higher education because in their way of thinking
is that men shouldn’t have the upper hand and women should.So, feminists protested at the Miss
America Pageant in 1968.

Human nature is apart of life itself.But what is also apart of our lives are very many
stories.Stories are apart of
every human beings life, even when the stories aren’t really meaning to be
there.They can be the shortest
story in the world like where someone is just randomly knocking on your door,
asking me if he can take my picture for one of his classes, and then there are
extremely short stories like telling people where you left something or
describing an autobiography about someone important.Stories are always being created every single day, whether
or not we are realizing that it’s happening or not.There are ways that we learn and or reference to the past,
which would be by telling stories.Multimedia projects are actually is a different type of telling a story,
except for the fact that you are telling the story by pictures instead of
words.All of this can be referred
to the book called “Digital Storytelling”.

“Music, Music, Music” by Patricia West Root - Page 262
Patricia
West Root was a music education major at East Texas State University in
1972.At first, her major consumed
her life to the point that she didn’t have time to join a sorority, like the
Greek system but she did join the music sorority called Mu Phi Epsilon.This was the time period when Vietnam
War was going on and she got married to an Air Forceman named Randy Root and
they were married for forty years.This was also the time period when integration was just starting to
begin to take place at the university.Patricia lived at Smith Hall while her husband was at war and the dorms
had curfews, then she moved to married housing on campus.And eventually, her and her husband
moved to Mesquite, so she had to commute to school.Patricia West Root ended up graduating in the Class of 1972.She taught music education for twenty-
five years, then took a couple of years off because she had a son, and then
taught for another six years.But
after the last six years, she ended up retiring from teaching.I think it’s just interesting how Binnion
Hall didn’t use to be a dorm hall and how Smith Hall had a curfew back then
which I can totally understand for that time period because of the fact that I
use to stay in that dorm hall just last school year.I also like how Patricia was so devoted to her schooling but
also just equally devoted to her husband, which is very noble.
“Walking on the Edge” by Dewayne Bethea - Page 220
Dewayne
Bethea went to East Texas State Teachers College in 1971.He met
Earlene Pepper in October of 1957 and they married in
1960.They were together for fifty
years and shared two children.In
the middle of all of that, Dewayne was part of a group called the Tejas
Brothers.They liked to start the
party per say because of the fact that they started the panty raid of 1956,
where the scene was chaotic, but the coeds were very willing participants as
the panties came raining down.But
the whole affair was to basically tease girls and to prank with the
establishment of the dorm and the university, itself as a whole.The Tejas Brothers were definitely the
rebels on campus.Dewayne eventually
realized that walking on the edge was not always a good thing, when it came to
living a certain lifestyle.So, he
gradually improved his GPA, started focusing on his schooling so he could be
done but he didn’t think that he had a path to a career that he wanted to
do.Later on, Dewayne’s life
consisted of the Education Public School system because he graduated with a
bachelor from East Texas State Teachers College in 1961 and then got his
masters in education degree in 1970 from Texas A&M University Commerce.He was a teacher, football coach,
athletic director, high school counselor, vocational counselor/director,
assistant superintendent, and superintendent.Dewayne thanks all of his professors for showing him the
way.I think that was the smartest
decision that Dewayne could have ever made in his life.I feel like in some way, that I see
where Dewayne is coming from when it comes from not knowing his career path in
life.

Lyndon B. Johnson was giving a lecture that was put together by the Forum Arts Program at Texas A&M University - Commerce. It looks like the lecture was given in the Hall of Language building, in one of the auditoriums on the second floor because it looks like in the picture that the whole back wall is a huge chalkboard and that the lecture hall has a speakers podium. It looks like the students are really happy to have attended the lecture. One of the questions that is on my mind is "What was the lecture about that he was given?", and "Why was the lecture set up by the Forum Arts Program?"
