Ideas for Final Project

Rdafhdhflksdj

Basically, a "documentary" about an all girls' Catholic school (the one I go to obviously), like what they dont say in the brochures, etc. Interviews with classmates, teachers, cafeteria workers, janitors, etc. I hate my school, so I will probably make it look very silly. sooo essentially it's a biased and non-serious documentary

Hey,

What is idea #2?

I think that you can work with the first idea pretty well. There seems to be a lot more room for development than with the wallet idea (which may be a little predictable). The question is, what kind of direction can you take this in with the narrative? Ten thousand years is pretty far away. Try narrowing it down conceptually-- as well as narrowing down the amount of years you are talking about. What might cape cod be like in, say, ten or twenty years? Is the culture changing? Is the tourist industry a problem? Is global warming changing things? What was it like twenty years ago? What are the people like who live there year-round, as opposed to people who just live there in the summers? ....etc.

Bridget,

This might be a therapeutic and fun way for you to deal with your experience at the school. How could you do it without totally pissing off the entire administration, staff and student body, because by your tone it sounds like you've got a huge bone to pick. I think the more serious and professional, both technically and artistically, the better impact this will have. It's easier to dismiss and criticize someone's rant if they are a rank amateur, so you would have to wow them with production quality.

Let's talk more.
