Movie! MYP project



This was my MYP personal project submission. Because i joined The middle years program as a 10th grader and didn't really go through the full five year program (i was only in it for a year) i decided to do the project about the program. In addition, it was meant to be under "Community and Service" (with a hint of Homo Faber/Human Ingenuity) because it was supposed to be informational and educational and meant to help people decide whether or not they want to join or stay in MYP. I think that this is an important decision because it will affect their lives and school severely for at least 1(or 2) years of their lives (freshman and sophomore year). 5 years if they join it at the beginning of middle school. This video specifically has to do with the MYP at Richard Montgomery high school. The MYP is an International program so i hope it helps people in places other than where i live. I did not list the names of the people in the video because that was a part of the release form (that i would not put up their names publicly on the internet) The music is copyrighted to their respective bands (please don't sue me - i'm a friggin broke teenager. Be assured that this music was not downloaded illegally and was bought in CD form. ^_^) I didn't make money off of the songs so i view me using them as OK... some kids were afraid to show up on camera for various reason.( your opinion is missed ) In addition, a lot of kids were afraid of GETTING INTO TROUBLE for voicing their opinions. seriously. like, they were afraid that the people grading this would see them differently. which is understandable but such a loss to the documentation process... XD I highly doubt the founding fathers would be pleased with such withdrawal of people using their right to free speech, haha. The end of the video has some fun stuff so watch through it. and there is also a disclaimer somewhere near the very end. HUGE THANKS to everyone who appeared in the video!
