Finished the Video-
I finished the video, so my sound, image, and text have been incorporated for a nice 5 min 43 sec. Total it took probably around 5 hours to make the video to my standard, I tend to be a perfectionist. Now I have to do the paperwork part of the project, and I'm done with essay 3!

More progress on digital essay
I'm working on putting the text and pictures together. I'm using Apple iMovie, which is an easy program, allowing my essay to be compiled easily, and efficiently. Choosing the song was difficult, but I think using "Listen to your heart" is the right choice. Since the memoir is ultimately about helping people because it is what I believe is right, listening to your heart would be a key. Also, I talk about working with the fire department, so I am using a soundtrack from a fire we had in Loudoun County almost 2 years ago. It was a major incident, and there was a report done on it, so the audio is readily available.

Response to "How do you know when You're done"
How do you know when your done, a question asked by Anne Lamott, and answered in her response. She talks about the vision of students of someone pushing themselves away from their desk when they're done. Then, she counters when reality, and you are done when you cannot make any more changes that would make it any better. She appeals to logos through the octopus analogy, making a logical comparison to writing and putting an octopus to bed. The analogy is that it is hard, because when you think you've got it, there are more tentacles hanging out, like there are more things in your writing that could be changed. She establishes her credibility through ethos because she is a teacher. It has little appeal to pathos.

Further Work on Digital Essay
I started the video for my digital essay, using iMovie. I took sound from our county dispatch and pictures from the fire department, and added some text in between. It took a long time for me to figure out how to get youtube videos into iMovie, but after that it was smooth sailing.
