At the end of Cycle 1 of my Action Research Project, a few of the students started to collaborate on doing an optional music video project, which was to include one of the songs they would be creating at the start of Cycle 2. Using the general ideas I provided them on digital storytelling, they started to put together a storyboard/treatment and then selected rolls and cast members. The project came together quite nicely as the group took ownership of the ideas and did what was necessary to accomplish the task.
The group decided to do a hip-hop/rap video to demonstrate the sometimes harsh realities of dating. In planning their ideas they were sure to get the required written consent to film in all locations, and written consent to film all people involved. The project was so enjoyable to each of them that they decided they want to do another video in the future as you will discover after viewing it.
Please be advised that this video contains strong subject matter and explicit language in some areas.
