"My Life As __"
Submitted by fmohamed on January 12, 2012 - 6:23pm
Ever Wonder for just a split second what goes through the mind of that cute senior kid or that girl that for some reason has everyone thinking “Why do we live in the same society- she’s so different”. I am going to propose my idea for a video project to be “To uncover the Twisted Mind of Teens” This project is suppose to compare the similarities of teenagers in one social group to teenagers in the opposite group.

Fartun!
This is a great start! I AM always wondering what's going on in the twisted minds of teens. Especially the ones in this class! haha. I'm sorry you missed my documentary presentation last week because it might have been helpful for designing this project BUT i posted it to the Fast Forward Thursday page so please check it out. It's under lesson plans. There are some clips and useful bits of information to help us make your documentary the best!
So since we are approaching our shoot date rapidly, here are some things I need you to do before we can set you loose with the camera:
1. Make a list of people you want to interview and which social group YOU feel they belong to.
2. Make contact with them and schedule dates for late February for when you can interview them on camera. The hardest part is getting people to commit. Especially when you don't know them that well!
3. Make a list of all the questions you would like to ask.
4. Write a treatment for me! I also have an outline of this posted on the Fast Forward Thursday page but what I need in the treatment is a brief statement of purpose. This will help you stay on track during the shooting and editing of your project. This should say in a couple of sentences why you are doing this project and what you hope to achieve from it.
After you do all these lets talk again!!

This sounds pretty interesting, what are you going to do for the video? Will you follow them for a day and film the group dynamics?
