My Capstone Experience

My Capstone experience went better than I expected. I came into the presentation nervous and worried that it would go bad. But in reality, it didn't. I feel like my multimedia components really helped me put out my issue to the judges. All in all, Capstone was a pain to work on but in the end it was a success.

Final Video Project

This video's main idea was to portray what happened during the Senior versus Junior basketball game. I was the Senior in the video who crossed up all the juniors and hit the game winning shot. I felt like this video was really creative and the editing process made it even better. Jalil was the junior and the girls were cheerleaders. Zuhair was the enthusiastic ref who made good calls that ended up giving us the win.

I feel like with these multimedia components, my Capstone presentation will be truly effective. I worked very hard on these and I hope it pays off.

Video Project

I picked powerpoint over all the other options because I would like my presentation to be as simple and to the point as possible. I do not want the judges to be too focused on other aspects seen on the other options. I talk about the development and end product of my project on my powerpoint presentation. It will truly be an aid in getting my message across.

Brief Proposal Presentation to Class

The whole theme of my presentation will revolve around a athletic and medicinal type of ideology. For props i will be using an enlarged photo of my poster that will give it a athletic mood. I will also be having multimedia equipment set up so i will be able to show my PSA and website to the judges. I am currently working on my end product which is a injury guidebook that will provide people with an essential amount of information about sports injuries. It will probably be finished by next week. All in all, I am well on my way to finishing up my project.

Capstone Website

Link to website: www.wix.com/allenthomas93/stopsportsinjuries

For my website I used the program Wix, which was a more creative way to construct a website. On Wix you have many options to customize and create a website they way you envision it. I went with a simple approach on my website in which it will be more user friendly for all age groups. I included many images that really bring out the mood about how serious my issue is. I included many tabs with vital information that will help change and mold opinions about the seriousness of sports injuries in the younger generation.

Website Prototype

My web page will be a interactive site for both parents, coaches, and youth. The home page will have a vibrant and playful theme that will include flash aspects. My research will be mostly off of government and health websites that will contain a wide array of information about sports injuries. My future essay will be a more in depth look on my issue and will provide a lot more insight on how we can keep sports injuries at a  minimum. My links will include my PSA video, my poster, and I will also try to incorporate a more fun aspect by adding games and other activities so that it can attract the younger population.
