Christina and I have made a decision today that I think is best for our project. We've had so many great interviews so far and so much potential for even more.
People are excited about the work we are doing and the topic we are covering.
So why should we limit ourselves to just this term?
We don't know how to edit on Final Cut Pro yet and we think this is a vital component of our project.
We don't want to have great content and a sucky film because of rookie editing mistakes.
Simply put, we need more time. We need time to film, we need time to learn, we need time to edit. This is something that could be seriously important and impactful on campus. It has the potential to go much further than a class project and we are going to take full advantage of that potential.
So what do we turn in for our project deadline?
How about a nice 5-7 minute teaser/trailer? Something that outlines the amount of work and effort we've put into this project thus far. It should be engaging to our classmates and Pam. It should demonstrate our work as new media students, and honestly, I think it will.
Christina and I plan to talk to Pam about this tonight, after class. I hope she is just as excited about this as we are and understands where we are coming from with this.
And even more exciting news: we may have settled on a potential documentary film title!!
Hooray for progress.

Facebook Etiquette---Reader Response
Due to some confrontation via Facebook, I've been looking over articles that outline proper Facebook etiquette. A lot of them had valid points and mannerisms that seemed basic to me, common sense even. Things you might have learned in pre-school (some of you may be exceptions).
I realized then that there is no common sense when it comes to Social Networking, at all. And really, why would there be? This is an avenue we are traveling for the first time together, something that we have yet to set social expectations from.
So as a result of the countless articles I read, this week's reader response will be my own take on proper Facebook Etiquette.
Facebook Etiquette: Manners We Should all Post With.

Project Progress
Christina and I have made a ton of progress so far, we got started early and knocked out a lot of great interviews.
So far we've talked to:
Larry Roper- Vice Provost of Student Affairs
Aaron Thompson- President of Active Minds
Christian Matheis- Student Advocate for ASOSU
and several students in front of the library. We have potential interviews pending with CAPS, the Women's Center, and a few students who would like to share their mental health story with us.
So far we are still working on a stunning title and last week, due to my chronic mono and bad health, we didn't get much done. We need to shoot some junk film and teach ourselves Final Cut Pro as well as pay a visit to CAPS who stopped returning my emails.
There is still so much work to be done but I think we've made a lot of lee way, what with our interviews and our facebook group.
This week we will be tackling a lot of necessary objectives and hopefully by next week I'll have a lot more to share as far as progress goes.

Lindsay Schnell
This is the second time I've had the privilege of listening to Lindsay Schnell talk about her aspiring career. Since I'm aiming to make it big in the same career field as she has, I find her words both inspirational and encouraging. She really took great advantage of the opportunities that college provides of with and molded them to enhance her career.
I remember the first time I heard her speak (in Pam's 101 course) she mentioned how far she had advanced in the Barometer in such a short time. As an employee of the Barometer, this was really influential for me. I've been trying hard, despite my bad health, to advance my career and improve my writing skills. I think that I have taken good steps towards creating a successful life but there is always more that I could do.
Listening to her motivated me to reach even further out and as a result I was able to snag a small free lance gig. It's nothing major, but its a step in the right direction and I hope to take more.
