the thinking process

The FIRST step of this project was to think of an idea for the final project.

IDEA 1:

Tragedy of Stoneman Douglas High School

-For this documentary, we would focus on how the victims of this incident feel post-tragedy. The documentary will be interview-based. For the interviews, we have several students in mind: Julia Cordover, Emma Gonzalez, and David Hogg. All of these students have made it their priority to get their voices heard around the community and all around the country. For example, Julia Cordover could speak about her meeting with the president, Donald Trump. Emma Gonzalez can speak about her speech that has been heard by everyone through several news channels and social media sites, such as Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and even Snapchat. These students want change in gun laws and this documentary could help them get their word out all in one video. The only problem with this is it will be hard to make this documentary a part of a television series. My only thought is that the television series can be about Gun law riots as a whole and this school can just be one of the purposes as to why so many people agree to have stricter gun laws.

IDEA 2:

Our school play RENT

This idea arose when our school AMT class was selling their tickets for their RENT production. Who else, other than these student who love productions, would be soooo willing to help us throughout our documentary process. Like Idea 1, the documentary will flow through the use of interviews. We have not yet decided who we would interview for this production but we do know a lot of the actors in AMT will be willing to do them. The actual TV production series of this idea will be about High school plays as a WHOLE. We will want to show the hard work and dedication that goes into a school production and how the actors actually feel throughout the performance. We could even get their thoughts on how sad it when the production is over. For this idea, we will be able to get a lot of footage but need to step back from the project often to ensure we are not cramming too much footage into out 5 minute clip from the entire documentary.
