A) What steps have you taken to begin arranging your Final Project - on a club at IHS? What questions do you still have in terms of putting together connections with the club, planning out your visuals, and the overall project? (Remember: you must provide both proof of outreach / connection with the club, as well as visual planning (in storyboard or written script) for credit in this project.)

A) I haven't taken any steps yet but finding the club I want which is aquarium club. I plan to contact Mr. Johnson the biology teacher and see what is going on with the club. I haven't heard much of this club so I'm still guessing if this is a real club. But when I put this peace together should I be in the film at all or just be a voice like a documentary. 

Here’s the question: Now that you’re in the 4th quarter of your senior year, what views / opinions / thoughts do you have about growing up in Ithaca?

Write a paragraph on what your thoughts of this city, it’s school, but also it’s overall “feel” or spirit is.

Biography Segment Project

At some point before February 27th, you need to complete the following segment. I will need to be independent of your normal segments for you to maintain an A in the class. It can take the place of a segment for a lower grade.

The task: Create a five – ten minute segment which explains the current life, and history, of a person in the school or in the community. This piece should explain not only who a person is, and what they do, but also focus on the following narrative aspects:

What makes the person noteworthy or successful

What life experiences in the past have shaped who the person is

What daily / weekly / yearly processes the person carries out to be who they are

Some kind of hook into our live – why we should be paying attention to this person

Along with these narrative elements, you must include the following technical / visual elements:

B-Roll footage that contains both the person, but also B-roll material that simply fleshes out your narration or their response to questions.

At least one short montage the shows, in rapid succession of multiple short shots or clips, elements of the person’s life.

Good interview techniques we have discussed (pulling the interviewer, physically, from the frame, contextual clues and facts as introduction to the interview, a movement from broad questions to specific questions (like in the radio piece)).
