Final Project

December 10, 2008 heatherharrison

For our final project in Journalism and the Web we had to come up with a story that could have three parts that make up one story. We had to have video, an audio slideshow, and a written story and we had to put it altogether in a flash file. For our story we chose to cover the North Texas Food Bank and what they are doing as well as the North Texas community to help fight hunger in North Texas.

The first thing we did  was the audio slideshow which covered an event at the North Texas Dragway that was set up in order for fans and racers to donate canned food items to the North Texas Food Bank so they could give the food out to families and provide them with meals for the holidays. The next thing we did was a video at the North Texas Food Bank interviewing someone who works there about what they have to do at the food bank once they receive the donations and how they go about getting the food out to the families. The last video was a couple interviews with the families who received the food and how the North Texas Food Bank and the food they received from them impacted their lives and their holidays.

The whole project was much more time consuming than I first thought it would be; however, it was a very fun project to cover. It helped me learn a lot about the food bank and how much people care about their community by how much they donated at the race track event. I think the project was very successful and turned out very well. I am excited to say I had a part in creating this story and I hope everyone enjoys it and realizes how little some people have and that you should never take advantage of the things you have no matter how little you think they may be.
