The Making of "Rape Culture" Multimodal Project

During the making of Rape Culture I aimed to speak actively against rape culture.  This process was cathartic personally but academically fell short of producing a quality of a video essay that I had envisioned.  This is in part because I have never created a video essay and with time and more editing I think that I will be able to get this project to the desire in which I wish.  The strengths would rest in the fact that I am a victim and so I have experienced this culture regardless of those opposing the idea of it and blaming feminists for creating a false perpetuating idea.

I focused on a photographic series that I created to exploit what rape culture "looks like" and for the video kept with short focused statements, using pathos, to reach the audience as well as a sad, dramatic music segment to go along to the video. 

What I would like to do in the future is add in a voice over that has an effect of a an old muffled microphone on it to keep with the aesthetic but to bring more personal involvement to reach the audience even more.

I also created a blog post that included the images with more descriptions and links to websites that exemplified rape culture to enlighten the topic with more depth and knowledge.

Check out the previous blog post to view Rape Culture.  A short video I compiled together also which is included on that blog and a separate on that I will make after this one.
