IC Trip Assessment

For my assessment on the IC trip I went to, I made a short video of our time at Mida Creek.

Unfortunately, the video that I made for my IC trip reflection can't be uploaded, so let me describe it for you:

• It begins with a photo of the creek itself, and the music being used is 'Levels' by Avicii. I used this song, because it was the one that everyone sang, ALL THE TIME. I though that it was a good representation of the way that us students experienced this trip.
• The photos are in chronological order, starting in the airport on sunday morning, showing our daily activities, and ending with short clips of everyone on the trip.
• I decided to use lots and lots of photographs to show how active, physical, and 'busy' this trip was. The pace leaves no time for the audience to think, though it is enough time for the audience to subconsciously understand our experiences and our newly-gained knowledge.
• I put the photos in chronological order so that the audience could have a day-by-day account of Mida Creek 2012. 
• However, I didn't just do this video for an audience, but also for myself: so that later on, I can remember my experiences, and so that I learn and remember something new and different each time I watch this video. 
• In regards to the audience, I made it so that they would be inspired. So that they could understand how inspiriting the trip was, and that by going on this trip next year, they too could help, and possibly make a difference in the Malindi-Watamu community.
• The last part of the video is of nearly all the participating students describing the trip in one word or sharing something which stuck with them in one word. A few of them included 'hot', 'sweaty', 'enlightening', 'kayaking', 'situation' etc. Mine was 'beach'. 

Now, when you think of the word 'beach', you must probably think of relaxing, holidays and sun-tans. However, when I said it that day, I said it because this whole trip is centred around the coastline. The coastline is many people's livelihoods, what affects their day-to-day life, and what affected our life while we were there.

(Hopefully, if you are part of the ISK community, you'll be able to see the video in assembly soon!)
