Final Project and Independent Learning: Tania Joseph

"HBCUSE" -- A Black Celebration For my final project I wanted to highlight the different cultures that walk the campus of Syracuse University. This 360 video is made up of different spaces where people of color on campus have found their niche. I wanted to get a wide range of events, so I did multiple indoor and outdoor shoots. Due to my interest in storytelling, to tie everything together I started of with the historical context of  why Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) were created. Through this video people...

Assignment 7: Tania Joseph HBCUSE

HBCUSE is a term created by students of color at Syracuse University.

I am very passionate about diversity and during my four...

Assignment 1- VR Experience- Tania Joseph

Virtual Reality is a different way to tell compelling stories and allow people to experience nearly anything. I love how through VR we are able to experience cultures and places. I've always seen VR gear commercials but never had the opportunity to experience it for myself. My first VR experience was Project Syria by Nonny de la Pena.  It was a very powerful piece and hearing the gunshot then seeing the aftermath was an unexplainable feeling. I really like how Nonny shed light on an issue incorporating journalism into VR.  This...
