This semester was the second semester this specific group of Digital Media students had the opportunity to work with International Studies Association(ISA). Last semester our main goals were to produce video content from footage captured at the 2016 ISA conference and prepare for our trip to the 2017 ISA conference in Baltimore, Maryland. This semester we continued our conference preparations, and on February 21st we departed on our trip. While in Baltimore we filmed interviews of the attendees to capture their experiences of the conference and their fields of study, plenty of b-roll, and recorded audio of the Sapphire Series, a panel of featured scholars and practitioners discussing current world events.

After returning from the conference, we spent the rest of the semester editing together videos from the footage we recorded in Baltimore. Some of those videos included short interviews featuring individual attendees, a general conference recap, a montage of attendees saying “We are ISA,” and a behind the scenes video of our team working.

The ISA team also requested we complete a handful of smaller tasks including creating a couple second long intro video of their Sapphire Series audio recordings, and touching up some projects from last semester as well.

We packaged these deliverables for our client on the hard drive they provided us and presented our work in our final presentation with them at the end of this semester.
