Over break, the opportunity did not arise to film the PSA. Instead, I will have to film it during class, or after school. I talked to Mr. Peters, and he will let me use the BEAR suit for the PSA.

My short story is finally complete. I was concerned that it had become too ridiculous. However, I was able to incorporate some elements that made it more appealing.

I went to talk to Mr. Young and Mrs. Corby during their respective lunches, but they where not there. I will try back later because I have to get this project moving.

I am now working on a satire that makes fun of the Wii. I plan to continue working on this next class.

Hopefully, I can film soon. Either during class or after school.

Outside filming:

1/28 I filmed the wrestling meet

1/28 I filmed the sparing match

1/31 I attempted to film open mike night

I will have to consult Mr. Haag about another opportunity, because I am not sure if I need another to meet the requirement. The new calender is not yet here any way, so I am not quite sure what opportunities are available. When it is finally here I will be able to make a decision.

I realized than Mr. Young is no longer in charge of drama. I think the new director is Ms. Corby so I will have to talk to her instead. Besides, I would prefer to film over break anyway. The PSA is now approved.

I am concerned that my short story has become to ridiculous. I know was the point, but now it might have gone over board. I am going to take a break so I can think about it more. In the meantime I will develop another script. I will come back to my original idea soon. I will work on both scripts over break.

I completed the story board for the PSA. I am going to try and get the footage for the PSA over break. I that case, I will try and use my friends as actors. I this plan fails, upon the return to school I will get actors from drama and film the PSA during or after school. In either situation I will have completed filming soon. Next class I will consult Mr. Young on actors.

I am making lots of progress on my short story. It is a bit cheesy, but then it is suppose to be that way.

The script for the anti-violence PSA is finished. I scouted out the location in the courtyard and everything looks good. Before I begin production I need to finish the story board.

Today, I also worked on my script for a short story. So far it is coming along very nicely.

I am still planning on helping Kelton with the intro/outro/transitions if he lets me. I have offered him several suggestions for talking objects.

Next class I plan on drafting actors, although I have no idea where to look for them. Perhaps I will talk to some kids in drama. I also need to complete the story board so I have a better idea of what I need to do.

Today we finished the video announcements class discussion. I decided that, besides from helping Kelton with the intro/outro/transitions, I would individually be in charge of a PSA. Hannah said that the PSA should be relevant to what is currently happening at TAHOMA. With that in mind I decided to base the PSA on violence because of the recent fights at TAHOMA. The piece will be several minutes in length and hopefully will illustrate the difference between violence and kindness. Next class I plan to scout out the intended film location--the courtyard-- as well as drafting actors. I also plan on refining the script. From there I can determine when I can film.
