    Project 2
    Group Conference Notes
    ● General Takeaways
    ○ Question for us: Is this a video we want to watch?
    ○ Project has really good idea and purpose → need to make a stronger and clearer
    argument that is supported by strong visual and audio choices
    ● Aim
    ○ What has GT done so far? What can GT members do to promote sustainability?
    ○ Good Audience (GT students, staff, and faculty) → use it purposefully, address
    all groups or further appeal to one through arguments and ideas
    ○ Use the title to focus and direct our ideas and analysis to a common motive
    ○ Needs to be more defined and address specifically one point of view: don't sit on
    the middle of the fence → there is more to be done or praise past actions
    ● Structure
    ○ Clearly state the thesis and purpose at the beginning and restate multiple times
    through the arguments and finally in the conclusion
    ○ Evidently define introduction, arguments, solutions, and conclusion in the video
    ○ Potentially very compelling closing but it needs to be backed up with solutions
    and actions students can do so they feel empowered in the previous sections
    ● Artifact (Video/Documentary)
    ○ Use other clips/audio from the Internet (take advantage of the video’s features)
    ○ Visuals should strictly relate to the information being presented in the voiceover
    ○ Incorporating audio from interviews is a good idea
    ● Arguments
    ○ Arguments need to be backed by concrete evidence
    ○ The scope of actions that we advocate for could be individual, or on a schoolwide
    level
    ○ Propose specific solutions that will help Tech reduce its footprint, and make
    specific criticisms of past/current actions taken by Tech
    ○ Good comparisons between GT and other institutions may be useful and
    impactful (Emory is an excellent option because both schools have similar
    political, social, economic, environmental contexts)
    ○ Be mindful with the use of interviews: why are they in the video? Do they distract
    from the main topic? Do they fit the argument and provide pertinent information?
    ○ Reduce or eliminate COVID-19 section (doesn’t fit very well our aim)
