Mentor Meeting

Three things I need before the next mentor meeting...

1
A full outline of the video in writing.
In a timeline format going over kinds of shots, length, audio.

2
An edited timeline of all favorite clips.
From interviews, and concerts, and other.

3
Expanded research.
(NBC biographies, group stories, youth music group articles, local promotional videos)

Editing and Emails

I started and finished editing my interview with a music teacher that I filmed a little while ago.
Not only did I continue editing but I sent out two important emails…

I sent this to an administrator...

Vitamin L is a key part of the Ithaca community and makes a positive impact on our local schools. I understand that you are involved with the Dignity for All Students Act, and Vitamin L has the same goals. I am a senior at Ithaca High School and am creating a promotional video for Vitamin L. Would you be willing to give me some of your time so I could get a soundbite from you? 

You would talk about your connection with Vitamin L's mission (DASA), and any other information you want to share (like a memory of a concert you attended).

Thank you for taking the time to read this email.  I hope we are able to meet.

And I sent this to Dr. Brown…

Dr. Brown,

Vitamin L is a key part of the Ithaca community and makes a positive impact on our local schools. Through Vitamin L, middle school and high school chorus members get involved with the local elementary kids. I am a senior at Ithaca High School and am creating a promotional video for Vitamin L. Would you be willing to give me some of your time so I could get a soundbite from you? 

You would talk about Vitamin L's impact on the local schools and how Vitamin L is important in our community.

Thank you, I hope we are able to meet.

We will see what comes out of these emails.

4th Day Editing

Today during school I finished editing the footage of the Syracuse Concert. (All three cameras)
I found some good and unique shots and went over them with my mentor. We had a discussion on how to use different shots and different graphics we plan on using.

Also today I created a list of people I want to contact to meet and interview. This list is a total of 7 people, and most of them lie within my school district.

Backwards Planning

Red Flagged

How much time did I spend on my project? (Include class meeting, mentor meeting, journal writing, hands-on, research)

4 hours

What did I do that was Hands-on?

I spent about 4 hours going through footage and finding the good parts. I didn't realize how long this would take. I am editing Monday through Friday 4th and 5th period. Hopefully this will give me enough time to put this together.

What research did I do?

None.

What should I research this week?

I should research what kinds of videos people have on PEAKS.

Did I meet with my mentor? What did we talk about?

We met, but we didn't have a meeting. I was going through some footage of a concert and he was going through emails. We did talk about using just the audio from some cuts and just the video for others.

Do I have three journal entries? Do my journal entries include planning, recording activities, and reflecting?

I do. They are oaky, but I do not have enough research this week.

Was I in class this week? Did I have and use my journal?

I was not in class. I had an AP test. I didn't come in to get the assignment after I missed class which I should have done. I will do this in the future.

Do I think my fulfillment of WISE requirements were: Inadequate? Adequate? Good? Excellent? Explain.

Inadequate. Not enough research.

What are my plans for next week?
I will set up interviews for next week on Saturday. I will continue to edit Monday through Thurday. Next Friday I will be filming a Vitamin L event and will be interviewing the kids at it. Also on Saturday I will be interviewing more kids at a poster making event. 

3rd Day Editing

I went though some more footage of the Syracuse concert. There were 4 kids that were my favorite. When I have to make the decision to
