Progress Feels Good!

So after meeting with my group, I feel a lot better than I did before. I was really intimidated with this project. The only video I've made was in my friend's backyard in tenth grade for a Latin project...we reenacted the Aeneid. It turned out looking nothing like the Aeneid, so I knew this project would be a lot of work for me. Plus, I've never used a Mac, so I'm glad I have a group who is a little more proficient than me. We've changed topics a couple times already, but I think we have a good one now.

Today my group and I met in the Communications lab (aka our classroom). We already had our topic and a basic storyboard. On Tuesday our "homework" was to outline our answers to our dramatic question and pick some pictures that visualized our answers. Today, I think we got a lot done. We decided, for the most part, what would happen in every scene in the movie--words, pictures, videos, and sounds. The only thing I'm worried about is the time and if we'll be able to incorporate all of our creative and good ideas within the time constraint.

We also decided that next Tuesday we'll begin filming. Overall, I feel a lot more confident about this project. I'm actually excited to start filming, and can't wait to see the final product!
