My America

By |2016-01-15T11:55:06-05:00October 30th, 2010|Videos|

My brother and I made this film in order to show the negative aspects of our society and what it leads young teenagers to do. We played football with these kids and also went to school with them. As my brother and I enrolled in private schools, these kids were left behind to make theire own decisions which often times [...]

Hearing Impaired

By |2016-01-15T11:55:06-05:00October 30th, 2010|Videos|

In my video, I wanted to portray my thoughts on free speech and the current status of free speech. I do this by explaining how I have been an underdog my whole life so no matter how obscene I can be, it is worthless because no one ever listens to me. This reflects my thoughts on free speech because I [...]

Speech is a Gift and a Curse

By |2016-01-15T11:55:06-05:00October 30th, 2010|Videos|

Speech is a gift but it is a curse at the same time. Speech allows us to express our ideas in forms of riddles, song, poems, novels, short stories, other forms of literature and by talking. While speech does so much for us, at the same time, speech can be looked at as a curse. Speech works by connecting words [...]

The Truth About Television

By |2016-01-15T11:55:06-05:00October 30th, 2010|Videos|

It didn't take me long to decide upon the subject of my film. Censorship, I believe, is a direct attack on creativity. That's why I chose to turn my film into a satire, to parody the ignorance that comes with censorship. I wanted to focus on television because even in my house, my parents censor what I can and can't [...]

Static

We're all for free speech, but we believe that its each citizens civic responsibility to make sure that their words have power. Our video is meant to illustrate the dangers of what can happen when the government begins to censor content. To do this, we combined various images of media being censored (eg. cd's broken, books taken, chalkboards erased) loosely [...]

My short film is mainly about the "N word". As you know the N word stands for nigger or the current version on the word nigga. I choose to do a documentary and I interviewed people from my school because my school is predominantly black. The reason I choose this topic is because this is still a issue in our [...]

Being Silenced

By |2016-01-15T11:55:06-05:00October 29th, 2010|Videos|

The reason why we chose to make our video about this topic is because we believe in freedom of speech and expression, and that nothing should be censored. In the video we demonstrate that teachers and schools don’t allow students to listen to what they want or read what they want and that they want students to behave a certain [...]

The Censors-Bowl

By |2016-01-15T11:55:06-05:00October 29th, 2010|Videos|

Our video is made to seem like a funny advertising show. We chose this topic of making fun of censorship because we don’t believe that it is right. The salespeople in the film are trying to sell censorship through a helmet and glasses. To show how it works we have characters in different situations using the products. Then at the [...]

Our Way of Speech

By |2016-01-15T11:55:06-05:00October 29th, 2010|Videos|

It is a mock news report on what we think about speech and what we do not like about it. At first, I had a different idea (which was about a month before the deadline), but by the time I actually had time to work on it, it was nearly the deadline, so I winged-it and did what I had [...]

“freedom of speech, does it exist, can it ever?

By |2016-01-15T11:55:06-05:00October 28th, 2010|Videos|

My film “freedom of speech, does it exist? can it ever?” was my chance to experience a filmmakers role, in this film I went around my high school and my community to interview various people and get their honest opinions on what they believe about their first amendment right, which is freedom of speech. For me originality was key in [...]

It’s time to stand up

By |2016-01-15T11:55:06-05:00October 28th, 2010|Videos|

Desiree Puller I’m All for Free Speech But… I think that freedom of speech is one of the best freedoms we have here in the USA, however when people choose to abuse this freedom is when I regret having it. I wanted to make this short film because sometimes we as teenagers say things without thinking about the affect it [...]

Facebook Profile Picture

By |2016-01-15T11:55:06-05:00October 27th, 2010|Videos|

"I'm All For Free Speech, BUT Taking Your Own Picture for Facebook in Your Bathroom Mirror is Just Stupid!" I am making fun of all the friends I have whose Facebook profile picture is taken by themselves in their bathroom. I chose this topic because my friends and I always joke around about how stupid they look. The credits say [...]

Ted the Incredible Asshole

By |2016-01-15T11:55:06-05:00October 25th, 2010|Videos|

I wanted to show the two extremes of free speech. I created two characters, Ted, who is obnoxious and says what he wants knowing he's protected under the 1st amendment. And also Ernest, who is constantly afraid of offending other people even though he has the right to say whatever he pleases. I did this to show how neither extreme [...]

Where is the line drawn?

By |2016-01-15T11:55:06-05:00October 21st, 2010|Videos|

This documentary film was about Freedom of Speech. Yes, everyone has their right to say whatever they would like whenever. Where is the line drawn though? There is a time and place for everything and sometimes certain words shouldn't be said or not at all. This video is about a student who is minding their own business whenever Racism comes [...]

The HU Reporter

By |2016-01-15T11:55:06-05:00September 25th, 2010|Videos|

This video is an example of how censorship is good in certain cases but should not be overused. This contains violence, partial nudity, and language. Yet, this video would be nothing without these elements. Censorship can increase the humor. Many agree that a bleeped out word can be more humorous than a curse word by itself. One cannot censor art. [...]

Repect and Free Speech

By |2016-01-15T11:55:06-05:00September 16th, 2010|Videos|

I chose the topic I did to explain how much disrespect there seems to be in free speech. Everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion but people do not seem to understand respect. I do not believe we should be censored but I do believe we shold have respect for one another!
