In the process of creating this short documentary, the limitation of 30-second runtime challenged me to convey the deep emotional connection of belonging. I wanted to make viewers understand the nature of belonging with my script and included photos. Visuals showing the team huddled together and myself, pictures at the end, reinforce the concept of unity and how my sense of belonging feels like family and I can be “my authentic self”. The idea that my sense of belonging is at Muhlenberg College also creates the idea of belonging relatable to the audience, as most viewers can relate to belonging in the context of a school or community. In a brief and emotional manner, I believe I accurately communicated the essence of belonging.
