For the course Communications 310: Social Media, I worked on the social media campaign for UMW’s Multicultural Center’s event, the UMW Multicultural Fair. UMW’s Annual Multicultural Fair is one of spring semester’s highlights on campus and in the Fredericksburg community. 2015 marks the 25th annual Multicultural Fair, and so along with a team, I wanted to get everyone on campus and in the community excited about the fair. I made this teaser video as part of the social media campaign for the fair, and we shared it across Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

The Divergent Games
This video was created for the Computer Science 106: Digital Storytelling course assignment Movie Trailer Mashup. I decided to mashup the Divergent trailer and the Hunger Games trailer because both movies take place in a dystopian future world and both have lead female characters.
To make this mashup trailer, I dowloaded both the Divergent and Hunger Games trailers from Youtube and imported them into iMovie. Next, I broke up the trailers into the scenes they featured from the movies, and tried to find similar scenes between the two trailers. I put the similar scenes together and carefully ordered them to make sure a plot line somewhat flowed through the new mashup trailer. I also wanted some of the dialogue so I made sure to increase the volume on the scenes with dialogue I thought was relevant to the mashup and mute the scenes that did not have relevant dialogue. I found a royalty free song on Incompetech to add to almost the entire trailer. In the very beginning I simply copied part of the background music from the Divergent trailer and added it to the Hunger Games scene before bringing in my royalty free track. I kept the black transitions from the original trailers and added in transitions between the scenes that did not have them. I also added in a fake release date scene and a mashup logo for my movie, The Divergent Games.
