The Skin We're In was created to examine the importance of identity. In Baltimore, many young people are unaware of who they are.

The intended audience is young people and adults within the community so that they can realize how important it is to know "who you are". The is exhibited through asking young people, teachers and colleagues, and about how their identity were formed, successful or not.

In our group we experienced what students have on teachers and how it reflects the students' performance and motivation in the class. Students should be more aware of their attitude towards their education. We chose to make a youth video about expressing the relationship between the student and the teachers. To portray the message, we interviewed teachers as well as students about one's feeling about the other individual. In the beginning of the video we introduced the topic in the terms of the student's point of view in a school scene. We started with students’ opinions on general school questions, in order to obtain the students' attention on the video's subject. Afterwards we obtained information on teachers' reflections on how important their job and their relationship with each other. In the program we used transitions; we also filmed the hallway scene on a hand held device for an aspect from a student. As a group we wanted it to be cartoonish so it would look flamboyant. The beginning and the end stand out in our film the most. We want others to see that they are a part of it. And we want to see improvement in students. The audience should feel that they should change for the benefit of the teachers, their peers, and most importantly themselves. We all learned how to use the Adobe Premiere program, how to use a camera, and how to interview people. Relating to our topic we learned how students affect the teachers. We have learned the appreciation of filmmaking. One negative thing we can include is that the program repeatedly shut down, it made it difficult for the project to prosper in a way that we planned.

A short documentary that asks why middle school age students make fun of homosexuality and make gay jokes. Artist's statement: "What brought me to this subject was that my ELA teacher was encouraging us to do a lot of social justice projects and I was interested in the topics of homosexuality and suicide among teens. I wanted to find out why kids always made fun of these issues. They talked about them like they were jokes or like they were nothing. I decided to narrow down my documentary because I was worried about what people would think and say if I was asking about suicide. It’s a really sensitive issue. After making this movie, I’m hoping that people will understand that it’s okay to make jokes but you shouldn’t take things too far. By making jokes about homosexuality, you cross the line and can hit a nerve by hurting someone’s feelings and putting them down."

"The Power of One", is a video that was made to show people that it only takes one person to make a difference. It shows how people in a group are influenced by those around them, and will not stop something they feel is wrong for fear of being rejected by the masses. If one person decides to step up to take action against the wrong they are seeing, it can cause a chain reaction amongst the crowd to stop what it is they are doing. This also has an application in life around our neighborhood or any other communities that we are apart of. This concept can also be applied to youth to teach them how to change the way individuals think and react to public situations for the better.
