History of DOMA - Ian McClendon



  • Explain your decision making for choosing the bill.
    -I chose the DOMA bill because I knew that there was always a lot of controversy involving this law. A mass population is effected by what they can and can't do to show love for their partner. I also wanted to see what major names put the bill into law and their perspectives on it then and now.   

  • Why did you choose the particular presentation format?
    -I picked a video format because Keynote Slide Shows and certain forms of presentation were already made. So I wanted to try a sort of News/ Documentary video. Instead of keeping it boring with 5 minutes of me talking in one video, I tried to change the frames for each sentence to keep the viewers attention while I move around the screen and keeping a verbal flow. 

     
  • What challenges did you overcome in completing the project?
    -Other than other people doing the same bill as me the only challenge was to make something different than the others. 

  • How would you do the project differently if you had to do it over again?
    -I would have a different set up for my scenes, different location, better camera/ audio, and to become more fluent with my speech. 

  • What did the research and investigation tell you about the creation process... from idea to bill to law?
    -As I researched I couldn't find legit websites for DOMA but I slightly referenced Wikipedia and their resources for finding my information. There was not much clarification about this act but I managed to complete the essential details for the history of the bill.  

  • Was the process easier or harder than you imagined based on your particular bill/law research?
    -It was a little challenging at first but I came up with the idea of how I was gonna present this. Then it flowed together into my final production of The History of DOMA.
