I'll be using this project to analyze Donald Trump, and the absolutely bonkers things he says and does. This also relates to the general "fuck you, got mine" attitude that he exudes and is demonstrated by some of his more vocal followers as well.
1. A short, animated cartoon about Donald Trump as president.
2. A live action segment of the same scenario.
3. A montage of clips taken from his speeches that are entirely taken out of context and switched around to make it seem like he's saying other things.
I'm leaning towards one and three, there are a lot of great possibilities there.

Ideas for political piece
I have three ideas for PSAs regarding the Syrian Refugees and the Syrian Occupation currently taking place in Europe.
First Idea, I will go to good will and pick up three sets of children clothing and build three convincing cadaverous of drowned child victims escaping foreign oppression. It will be shot at Lake Afton due its enormous size to give the feeling of a long painfully unsuccessful journey, I will do close ups on each of the bodies to show the gravity of the situation along with a voice over discussing the causalities of civil conflict.
Second Idea, A woman wrapped in traditional Islamic garb has been reduced to eating out of a trash can behind a local restaurant, she is starving and looking for any nourishment she can find. After finding nothing edible she begins to cry. Her crying is heard by a worker in the kitchen who yells at her to leave before he calls the police. He sees her as an invader destroying his home land, she sees him as a cruel dictator who has authority on good fortune alone.
Third Idea, the same woman wrapped in traditional garb with dirty hands and no shoes is pan handling in front of rich business. She is being pasted by wealthy men and women who wont even look her in the eye. She waits all day and all night till she eventually falls asleep from exhaustion. No one comforts her as she lays her tired on the cold pavement. This is to symbolize the cold concrete floor of that the millions of other Syrians sleep on every night in search for a better life.

Carlo Chandler - Project 3
Untitled
I used statues from downtown to create a scene reminiscent of the old Godzilla movies, which references Japanese and American pop culture. I felt that the statues downtown are tame and slightly boring, so I recontextualized them to make them more imposing and awe-inspiring. I decided on black and white in order to reinforce the idea of a vintage movie.
Project 3 - Pop Culture
The sculpture is from downtown. I use pop art colors. and the abstract background is supposed to be simple to emphasize the focal point.

Social Commentary Video Project Plan
For my Social Commentary video project, I would like to work on the Syrian Refugees. I plan on creating a video collage from different media sources. The 3 ways i would like to go about this is using clips of the travelling, different news cast, or using quotes and phrases from the refugees. I have thought about using other refugee situations (Vietnam) in the video as well.

5 Pop Culture Photos From Around Wichita
The statues downtown are part of the pop culture of Wichita because when you see them, you identify them with Wichita.
Location: Downtown
Goodwill has been popularized by fashion trends and so more people are going there now.
Location: South Broadway
This is a Venus de Milo statue in a downtown storefront. The statue has become a part of pop culture because it is parodied so much.
Location: Downtown
Pepsi is a very popular and ubiquitous brand. We probably drink many Pepsi products without knowing it because they make drinks under different names.
Location: South Wichita
Shriners have become a symbol in our culture. We know them more for driving miniature cars in parades than for what they normally do.
