2 DAY CHALLENGE
Task
Take inspiration from the city, your neighborhood or a unique character that you know has a great story to produce a meaningful personal story narrative using an iPhone and the accessories provided. Focus on both narrative as well as visuals to show rather than just tell their story.
Due
A 90 second to 2 minute video shot and edited using the iPhones provided uploaded to Chicago Untold Stories Google Drive by 3pm 7/3.
Goal
To jumpstart the program by going out and testing the equipment in a real life situation. To push your creativity and perceived limits of what an iPhone can do. To get an accurate assessment of your strengths so we can make the best fit possible in forming the groups for the Summer Stories project. To test potential ideas, subjects and characters that might work well for the full project.
Youth will work in groups of 2 during the 2Day Challenge
