I am excited that we are almost done with the video it feel good to know we are on the right track to getting all of our deadlines done on time. I am a little bit stressed about putting the scrapbook together but I know we will be fine!

We finally uploaded all of our videos onto a USB and now we jsut have one more day of filming then we are done! once we finsih editing hopefully this week we will be done with the completed video.

I started working on my first memory. I wrote a poem about it and I wrote a formal memory. Im not sure which I will use yet but I like the poem a little better for this particular memory. I might use the poem and the normal writing in the scrapbook but im not sure just yet. That is a little detail I need to work out.

We are still having technical difficulties with our video and uploading them but I have worked more on my memories. I have been struggling to think of a good memory for sophomore year. Im sure I will think of one though.

For homework this weekend I worked on the midterm presentation and watching over the interviews  we have taken so far. For the midterm we plan on talking about what we have done so far with the video and why we are doing what we are. The main reason being how sentimental i am.

In class on Friday, I began to write my first memory down on paper. I just started jotting down details of my freshman year trying to brainstorm a good memory to write about. Immediately the football game vs BB&N popped into my mind. I wrote down every detail in bullet points of what I remember about that night. I really do not remember much of freshman or sophomore year so I have been using pictures to job my memory. This is another reason that the scrap book will be a good idea, because it is true that pictures can tell a story and we will have lots of pictures to go along with our memories in the scrap book.

I am really happy with the way our video interviews are turning out. Julia and I spent most of the class time this week video taping our peers. I think so far my favorite question we have asked was "Who is someone who has made your time at LA memorable" One girl answered that Ms. Mac bought her ben and jerrys and let her cry to her when she was having a bad week. That is something I would have never known probably if not for this project, which I think is really cool.

This week julia and I worked on filming. We went around asking and interviewing people about their senior experience. For some reason alot of people had trouble answering our questions. For example one question was "When you were a freshman what did you think your senior year would be like?" And it was a really tough thing to get people to answer this question. It took them alot of time to think about it and most people said they didnt even think about senior year as a freshman. It was interesting to see how some people remembered things differently.
