Project Update

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.
