Selfie Introduction

The inspiration for my selfie video came about in the same way that many of my ideas come. I was laying in bed one night, and like most nights my mind was in overdrive. This night, I was mainly thinking about the Selfie Introduction video that was due soon. I knew without a doubt that I did not want to do a video of myself in front of the camera, as I felt like that was not very original. It came down to two ideas, a "draw my life" sort of video (these videos were really popular on YouTube a few years ago) or a picture video. I decided to go with the latter, as I am not very talented when it comes to drawing. The next task was to find the pictures I wanted to use, it came down to me wanting to introduce myself throughout the years, starting when I was a baby and ending up to where I am now, so I had to find pictures that corresponded with that. I put all the pictures in order, and recorded a voice over, which was definitely the hardest part - and this is what I came up with!

Brooke McGarr

“The Selfie” Script and Scene Setting

Hey everyone! My name is Brooke and my life story started on November 13^th 1992. I have two sisters, one older than me by four years, and one younger than me by four years. Growing up in the middle was a lot of fun. I could either got to be the big sister, or I got to be the little sister. Dancing was something that I really loved. I danced from when I was younger to the time I graduated High School. I met some of my best friend’s at dance. When I was sixteen years old, my childhood dreams came true, and I was finally able to get a dog. His name is Brady. I graduated High School in 2011 and celebrated with a Hawaiian themed party that was filled with a lot of family and friends. After High School, I moved around a few times, and ended up taking some early childhood classes in college. However at the beginning of this year, I decided that that wasn’t really what I wanted to do and changed my major to a Bachelor in the Arts with a focus on photography. Photography is my passion, and I hope to make it my career someday. Thank you all for watching my selfie story, and I hope we all have a good semester.
