LIGHTS! CAMERA! ACTION!

We started filming our documentary for our Safe Sacks final project on Tuesday after class. Day one of filming turned out pretty well! We decided to film in the Bears Den in the McFarland Student Union building. I was the interviewer, Vanessa was the person being interviewed, Kira was the camera lady and Katie helped out with camera angles and improvisation of the lines. For the set we pulled two chairs pointing at each other by a window. I would ask Vanessa questions about what happened on that night her bag was stolen at South Dining Hall South Side Café. The Safe Sack group and I also discussed where we would add flashback scenes into our documentary. We still have to film all the flashback scenes and film/interview the public safety cops. These will take place at night at the South Dining Hall. Everyone in the group will be involved in this filming proportion. We really want to try our best to recreate that horrible night when Vanessa’s personal belongings were stolen at South Dining Hall. I am really looking forward to filming these flashback scenes! Everything is really starting to come together nicely!

On Thursday in the Academic Forum, Dr. Morris had an extra credit opportunity in room 102. It actually turned out to be a lot of fun! I sat with Vanessa and Katie in the second row. We were pretending to be jamming out to music videos on youtube. Dr. Morris was trying to take attendance and teach the students. The students we not suppose to pay attention and ignore Dr. Morris. At the end of the class all the students had to turn in their binder by throwing it on the table and not really caring. Overall I think filming turned out very well! I am very excited to see the finished product! Good Luck Dr. Morris!!

One last note: I LOVE EBSCOHOST! EBSCOHOST has been a lot of help in a bunch of my classes! For example, I had to find five academic journals for my Intro to Communications class on gender communications. I ended up finding all five plus more articles that I needed for my paper! It’s such a fantastic place to find great sources! Thank you for sharing EBSCOHOST with us Dr. Morris!! It is a HUGE help!!
