Our documentary is going ok so far. We have an idea about the factors that go into chosing the right college for you but we arn't really sure if thats the right topic. Some people say that it is an ok topic and could be good if we made it interesting and other people have said that it has been done before and we should chose another idea.  The Digging Deep part of the packet was the most interesting to me.  The types of research they mentioned made me relate it to my own project. The 'Top', 'Heart', 'Root', and 'Branches' they mentioned are things that we can relate to how we want our project to be. This reading will be a huge help  to how we do our research and how the final draft turn out.

My group is kind of stuck inbetween ideas for the documentary. We have multiple ideas but we can't seem to decide because each of the ideas we have has a flaw, whether it be a question of access or even if we could make it an enjoyable piece. I'm sure that when we do decide it will be a very good documentary. When I read the packet a sentence that seemed important was  "But documentary reflects the richness and ambiguity of the whole of life, and this takes it beyond objective observation". This sentence kind of defines documentaries to me. It's saying that your topic not only to the issue in the social world but to life in general.

Our PSA turned out really good. We think that our message got across clearly and people enjoyed it. What helped me learn alot was going to MTN during school and having sessions where were taught about angles, sounds, editing, etc. Also presenting in front of the class helped me learn alot. My group really used the feed back and it turned out that it helped us alot. The most challenging part of the project was coming up with a way to get our message across but we did after recieving feed back and changing our original idea. I'm not sure how the unit could be improved but I feel that it could have been a little better if we spent more time on it.

I feel that our groups PSA is very effective. Wehave some really good footage that people are going to like and it's going to reach out to them and spread the awareness that Anger is a serious issue that needs to be controlled. Also, although it's not a huge problem in our society, the people that are effected by it will enjoy and relate to it.

Our group does have what it takes. We have thought of many of the ideas talked about in the article and have alson decided to use some of them. I don't think my group would want to change anything after reading the articles but I deffinatly think that we would consider adding more to make it better. Are PSA is going to be effective by getting the audience into it right away and then keeping them into it throughout the entire thing and the really getting them with our slogan at the end.

Our group is currently still pondering on the video production process. We have ideas but we have not yet put all our ideas to make it official. We have mostly everything done but all that is left to do is make a couple tweeks and start filming. Working together has been fun and has worked together very well. We all have great ideas and when put together it wil be a good PSA. We havnt had many obstacles but when we've had them, they have been pretty big. The "Gabe" situation was an obstacle. Alot of the students took it as a joke but when we thought about it and used the feedback, we dicided to switch the protaganist and now it's looking alot better.
