Google started Made with Code because women are vastly underrepresented in computer science ("less than 1% of girls study Computer Science"). Google wants to change that. The video on the left is more of a cinematic trailer, created to inspire girls to pursue careers in programming through beautiful b-roll, smiling faces and lofty language. The video on the right takes a different approach, showing one person, a role model, who is making a difference through programming. This is one of a series of a dozen videos. Which do you think is more effective? Share your thoughts on production values that we've discussed in class (characters, b-roll, music, storytelling elements) and consider how you may apply them to your own stories.
• Reflections: Students should write reflections on readings and viewings and submit reflections using the form below by 12pm Sunday, October 2nd.
REMINDER: 25% of your final grade will be based on class participation and reflection papers. See Reflection Papers under grading on the overview page for an exposition of this assignment.
We'll see you on October 4th for Week 6: Story #1 Red Carpet Guacamole Premiere.
