This media piece is about believing in your own dreams and not preventing your own fears to hinder you from reaching your goals in life. Tansy used Adobe After Effects and Adobe Premiere to create a fun animation that encourages teens from 12-19 years to reflect on the fact that dreams can come true. After a long process of brainstorming on the right words for the media piece, Tansy constantly received feedback from her peers AYV students. This project was exhibited at the AYV Bonaire 2013 Exhibition. For more info visit: http://youtu.be/jRTjOaH2PRY

Pre-Production is the first stage in any media production. It's important to embrace creativity and enjoy this process as it will provide a guiding vision and direction for the following stages of production. This video introduces the pre-production process and invites young people to explore their story, audience, message and style.

As a part of the Adobe Youth Voices program, peer feedback plays a very important role in the media making process. Feedback can take place throughout the process beginning with the initial pitch and continuing through postproduction with a Rough Cut screening. Giving feedback can be a delicate thing and should be done in a respectful and supportive way; it’s important that you follow some simple guidelines when giving feedback to the artist. In this video you’ll learn about the importance of Critical Response.

This video features excellent guidelines for planning and conducting Rough Cut reviews of media that students are producing. Includes suggestions on the process and use of critical feedback handouts for discussion during group viewings and gallery walks, and how to incorporate feedback into the final stages of production work.
