Niche Blogging

For my final Niche blog, I wanted to write about Mark Twain coming to Eastern Michigan University. My blog is a feature blog about all the events that happen on campus. It's a way to keep students involved in campus activities and those who commute like myself informed.
Mark Twain is speaking at Eastern Michigan University in the Student Center Auditorium at 6:30, so I was thinking I could record him doing his speech then put together a paper. The paper would focus on his up bringing as well as quotes from students who attended the event and love his writings.
But honestly this is my first choice, I will attend the meeting with him today but I;m not quite sure if this is what I want to focus on for the final. I just feel like there's so much that happens on campus and if I could at least cover some of the main things then that would be fun. Talk about a variety of campus activities and not just one.
It's still early for me, but I plan on doing my final on a variety of events that happens on and off campus.
Another thing I could do is interview those who went to the Mark Twain reading and or other events and just get there impute on whats going on. As you can see I'm still undecisive of what I want to do the final on, but I planned to have some kind of idea.

Retro Flashback

The Video that's in the corner is a you tube video that I posted. It shows a danced clip that was held at an event that I attended on campus. It was a Delta Fashion Show but because of the angle in which I was sitting it was hard to get a video clip of the models walking down the runway. The reason for posting this on my Niche Blog, is because I'm doing a feature Niche of events that happen on and off campus to get students involved in more activities. Like I've mention before I commute back and forth to class and I never know about what's going on until the last minute so I wanted to do something that would capture peoples attention and get them involved in school.

I wasn't able to do as much editing as I wanted, I had another video but for some reason it was not working. So this is just a glimpse of an attention grabber at the fashion show titled Retro Flashback and I hope you enjoy! After going through so much with different computers I still find the video fun and interesting.
