Our task was to create either a video or a storyboard about our assigned chapter, from Thomas Friedmans book, The World Is Flat. I was assigned Chapter 5, America And Free Trade.


Chapter 5: America and Free Trade

This is a slideshow I created using pictures of me and Emelina, pretending to converse. It is talking about America and Free Trade, and how outsourcing has caused a large amount of unemployed people. In the book, Friedman talks about how they should lower the amount of outsourcing done in jobs, so that there are some jobs left for Americans, so me and Emelina say this in our conversation. You can view the SlideShow above, or on SlideShare, here

The idea of using stills of me and Emelina occurred to me when I was messing about with Photo booth, a program to take pictures with the built in Webcam on the Mac. I thought if I could take pictures that looked like talking, I'd be able to add subtitles, to explain the main idea behind the chapter. I originally planned to use iMovie, but was unable to upload it anywhere, so I opted to use Powerpoint.
