VANTAGE DJ Projects Update

Over the past semester, our class has been working on semester projects with our groups. Groups are made of 3-5 Digital Journalism students and almost all groups are partnered with a Global Business or Business Analytics group. Each group is assigned a company to make a video or digital product for.

Take a look at what each project was asked to do:

Fairview: [Annie, Suzie, Tanner] We are working with Fairview Clinic in their journey to create the product, the Bridge. As the video team, we have been asked to create a promotional/informational video about the product showing people using it and the benefits to it. The video will be used to show potential patients.

Park Nicollet: [Sarah, Aly, Nikki] We are working on updating five videos for total hip and knee replacement. These videos are informational videos on how to deal with your surgery and the exercises you will be performing post-surgery. These videos will be used in their total hip and knee replacement class.

Children's Workshop: [Paige, Madison. F, Caelyn, Ari] Children's Workshop is a Montessori school. We were asked to create a promotional/marketing video for them advertising what Montessori is and how their Montessori school differs from others.

Stillman: [Kari, Christian, Lydia] David Stillman is a generational expert. We were asked to create a video showing a VANTAGE project from start to finish and what VANTAGE students are responsible for during a project. We are following the Business Analytics VANTAGE strand on their project with David Stillman. 

Car Workshop: [Harry, Roy, Zeke, Chris] We are working to create a promotional slideshow to broaden the audience of the 10,000 Lakes Concours, a celebration of antique cars. We hope to expand to the younger audience and get them interested in this event with our slideshow.

Habitat for Humanity: [Max, Sophie, Madison. G, Mia] We were asked to prepare two videos. One video will be used to target people that are dropping off donations and another for volunteers that are volunteering for the first time. These videos will take the viewer through each step, making it easier for them to help Habitat for Humanity. 

Pique Travel: [Brady, Mimi, Elle, Cece] We are working on filming and editing two videos for Pique Travel Design. One will focus on a marketing video to capture the nature of Pique. The other will be focusing on a potential program where Pique will donate a certain percentage of profits back to Pique.

As we begin the end of the year, we are continuing to film and edit our projects with the final presentation deadlines approach. Stay tuned for the final products coming soon!
