FHE Home-Video

So in honor of the Academy Awards a few weeks back/just for fun, my ward is throwing together an Academy Awards night. Part of this event includes submissions by each FHE group of some video or another that the group created. The movies are due tomorrow night, so like any group of college students, my FHE group procrastinated filming until today.

I will be honest, our one-minute-and-seven-seconds "home-video" may or may not have a viable plot, theme, or purpose. It may or may not be entertaining to anyone outside of those of us who participated in making it. But, making that movie together was so much fun, however cheesy or senseless it may turn out to be.

The purpose of media is to convey some message or another from one source to another. In the case of this home-video we created, I think the message is most salient in it's creation. It's about the bonding and fun we all had, the memories we formed, and the endless laughter that kept us from filming half the time. Whether or not anyone gets anything out of this film, our group is closer for having had making it, which, in the end is the purpose of the ward activity.
