After doing the first assignment, and learning how to introduce my family in Cree, I decided that for my final project I wanted to work with my family to do my “How To” video. I want to work with my Grandfather and Mother to create a video on how to make a recipe that our family has passed down many years.
I am excited to do this project because both my Mother and Grandfather aren’t able to speak (much) Cree, and I want to be able to share this experience with them. Through conversations I have learned that my great-grandmother was able to speak English, French, Cree and Michif, so this is important for me to be able to do with my family.
To prepare I am going to sit down with my grandpa and ask him to teach me the recipe beforehand, so I can properly translate it (as well as get the groceries). I might do some recording of this to incorporate into my final project. I then want to make a script with the steps, so that when I record it will be easy. I am going to record on my phone and will either use Microsoft Movie Maker (I used this for Cree 100 and it was very easy) or Adobe Premier (already familiar with this editing tool). I am going to post my final video onto Youtube.
