Hahaha! I wish. It is intimidating to think that I am to porduce a short short movie. Luckily, is it a short short. I am so very thankful for this project that I went back to school in person today. I can hopefully get much more footage this way. Although I want to get shots of kids talking, so the masks will be difficult but isn't that life right now?!?!
So, in thinking about my documentary, I am still wondering how to put it all together. I have ideas of what to talk about, what shots to get but much like the one article, does it need a narrative arc? What does it need to come together? Will I have a story? The iCARE this week was super helpful in order to understand about documentary movie making. I know nothing about this topic but now I know a little bit. So that is something I suppose. I watched all the mini documentarys and the Capstone videos. There were quite a bit of difference in them. Some of the early Capstone videos were not something I would aspire to but I am also not sure how to go about not replicating that. Hopefully, the critical friends activities will help with that. I liked some of the shots in some and the visuals. I think I just need more exposure to documentarys, it is different to watch as entertainment vs. as an example. I need to watch more as. an example. I should also check out more Capstone videos to solidify specific parts I like and what I can incorporate. I also really need to think about my audience, I suppose it is for teachers but I guess it could make it so that it is something for potential teachers who may be interested in the outcomes of using Project GLAD with other strategies in any sort of format because that is what I really did. That has value as many sometimes just think the GLAD strategies are just for fun. They are but we can get results too. Ok, I think I just got an idea. Blogging may have value after all!

I agree, this is a bit intimidating...but we will drag one another across the finish line somehow!

I like your comment that being back in person more gives the opportunity to get some video of students in class. I think that is a plus side for me too! I did film during my research, but the audio is so bad. I suppose the programs we use for the production will give me options to make those videos seamlessly incorporated into my capstone mini! Good Luck to you, Erica Coppola!

I resonated with needing more exposure to this type of thing. It’s just not in my historical wheelhouse either. And that’s also a great point about the masks. It comes down to the mantra of this year— *flexibility* and doing what we can do outside of our school day!

It's true! Sometimes just writing about your thoughts brings to mind the answers. I agree that making a mini documentary is a daunting task for newbies not experienced with video production but looking at examples has been really helpful. I'm looking forward to seeing the GLAD strategies in action in your video.
