Data-driven Storytelling

Information used

The information that I used was the information that we had to find last week for the project. The information that I found last week was the number of undergraduate students enrolled at UMW as of December 2023. I took the programs with the highest and lowest number of students enrolled. This information was obtained from the University of Mary Washington website.

Information presentation

I chose to do a short video. There are many occasions that when you are attempting to share data it can be BORING!! I know that I personally have had to sit through meetings or presentations that during that time all you could think is…this could have been an email. I chose an option that with images and “ear catching” background music would keep the attention of the viewer.

How it was made

Although I did not use video footage, I did use photographs, still images, and factual information sheet within the presentation to show the information I was trying to share. The video was made in Microsoft Clipchamp. I believe, for me at least, that is the easiest format to use to create and share your video creations.
