Out presentation we made was a video directed by my partner Clara. I, as well as our other partner Ashley, went to Clara's house to film our presentation. We asked each other questions such as :
"Why did you choose to do this project?"
"What outcome did we want for it?"
"Did we fail with the project or not, and why?"
So with that said, for my part I discussed the reasons why I chose the topic of Eating Disorders to be my year-long project.
We filmed each other answering the questions, and Clara was in charge of editing and putting together the video. We presented the video to the class; they never uttered a word during the entire video. I'm hoping they took the video seriously because Eating disorders and Depression are very serious issues. Ones that should not be taken lightly.
Overall I believe our project presentation came out very well. We answered the questions honestly, even though we have experienced some of the same issues we had discussed, we really wanted to get the message across that even though the subject is a still a bit taboo they are serious illnesses. They can harm not only the person experiencing the illness, but also harm everyone around them.
I believe that our project was the best it could be considering the subject at hand. Even though we partially failed the project by helping a specific person, we did help broaden the message of ED's and Depression. That alone is enough for myself as well as my group.
