Today we discussed video announcements. For my piece I am going to work on sports. This way I do not have to get actors, which was the main reason my last piece didn't turn out very good. Mainly, I would like to do track, but I can do something else as well. We have 6 minutes for the piece.

We also discussed our short stories. Our group is making good progress on our short story script. We are going to film over break on Wednesday and Thursday.

I will continue to work on my cow story next class. I will also help write the script for our groups short story, and perhaps a script for my own use. However, my priority is the group's short story and it is not likely that I will get to work on something else.

Personally, I finally have an idea I would like to go forward with. It is about a blue cow. I would like to continue to work on this next class. I spent all today working on this and it is coming along very nicely.

Today we worked in our groups. Our group decided to combine ideas, so now we are working on a process of writing a new script that incorporates elements from all of our scripts. Personally, I finally have an idea I would like to go forward with. It is about a blue cow. I would like to work on this next class.

Today we were going to begin group projects, but for some reason, we did not. Instead I worked on an anti smoking ad of some sort. It is likely that it will turn into something interesting, although it is kind of unplanned. Next class I we will work on group projects.

Shortened period; we spent all class discussing video announcements. As soon as the discussions are over, I would like to work on my personal projects.

Today we had a shortened period. We spent all class discussing video announcements. Next is also a shortened period and we will probably do the same. However, I would like to work on my personal projects if there is time.

Today we determined which groups we would be in. In our groups we will produce a short story. Forming the groups took a decent amount of our class time.

For a little while, I helped Tyler on one of his personal projects.

I am also considering an idea for the next video announcements. I am straying from the idea of making an original short story again because finding actors is somewhat difficult. Instead I would like to help on with sports. The concept of the piece is to compare the time it takes to do certain events in track with other things you could be doing. I used the internet to help generate amusing ideas. I spent the majority of the rest of my class time working on this. Next class I would like to continue working on this concept.

Today we talked about the steady cam and dolly in class. I would like to work on some more short stories, and incorporate uses for the dolly and steady cam, as well as the crane. I already have a list of story ideas, so I can pick from those or think of something new. 

*All my projects were turned in on time.

The PSA got of control. I was glad Hannah pointed it out because I was able to fix it before it was due. The PSA is now, finally, done. I also was able to turn in my short story. I am not quite sure what I am going to work on next class. I suppose that I will work on some more scripts to use on personal projects. I would like to incorporate some of the motion elements that I did not get to use on the PSA.

Yes! On Tuesday (3/3/09) the PSA was finally filmed, and it only took one period of SSR! Now I have something to edit! I can scrap the short piece on DI because I no longer need it as a backup. I will make sure I come in everyday for the rest of the week to finish the PSA up.

I was recently provided with a list of Drama students who would be willing to help with video announcements. Today I went and contacted those students. Tomorrow (Tuesday-3/3/09) we are meeting in the commons to begin filming the PSA. Because the entire production has already been extensively  planned, I am hoping that tomorrow will go smoothly. Just in case everything falls apart, I am also making a short piece on DI, that should meet the requirement. If everything does go as planned I will have PSA material to work with next class.
