With a video camera in their hands, young people can realize the power of their own voice and recognize the clarity of their own vision.
An exciting and compelling medium, video provides an opportunity for youth to tell their own stories, express their views and opinions, and compose original ideas. It is through video that we are allowed to see through the eyes of the director, where new meaning, feelings, and thoughts confront us in a visually engaging manner.
Video production also offers many lessons for youth in understanding how to express themselves creatively, work collaboratively, set goals, and develop leadership skills.
