Greatest Fears of Winthrop Students and Faculty


I composed a video through interviews with Winthrop campus-goers to expose a particular question: "What is your greatest fear?" You can watch my video HERE.
The responses seen in the video vary from humorously silly to vulnerable, honest answers.  Those featured in my video should be highly regarded for answering a personal question on camera.

Interviewing people was a lot of fun---their responses made me laugh and even find some insight to human reaction toward the world's frightening products.  I found myself enjoying the editing process as well.  Finding ways to group certain fears and turn a long response into a quick-and-easy one was quite satisfying.  The only difficulties I had with making this compilation video was the time it took to export from Adobe Premiere and the time it took to upload to Youtube.  I suppose I used a lot of editing and that took some effort on the computer's end.


I hope you enjoy my video, because I surely do.  Again, click HERE to watch the responses of Winthrop University students to an unprompted "What is your greatest fear?" on camera!

Bancroft Hall

I did my first project for my Multi Media Story Telling class on Bancroft Hall, an office building on the Winthrop campus.  Professors and faculty members use the office rooms for out-of-the-classroom work between classes.  I enjoyed having Bancroft as my subject because of how much it made me feel at home.  After studying what it has to offer, I plan to visit the writing center much more often.
While making this video, I had some difficulties working with the mac computers...I have nearly no experience with them.  I had to take my pictures and record my audio twice.  I also had to start my editing over after using a different mac and saving the project incorrectly.  But after much effort, I'm quite proud of the video.  Click here to watch it.
I hope that this video will reassure you all that Bancroft is a place for academic support; professors are always willing to help during office hours, and the writing center is always accepting appointments.  Plus, its an incredibly peaceful place to study.
