Final Project and Notes

Today, I spent the day putting the finishing touches on my final project PowerPoint. After I finished that I started to look for some more notes. Over the break I will start my outline because my paper is probably going to be the hardest thing for me because I am such a procrastinator, so its best to get an early start.

Editing Continued....

Today, I took the edits that I got back from my proposal and I proceeded to begin editing my proposal according to the notes given by my editors. I am still waiting on one edit though... but after I get that edit and consider it then I will be ready to turn in my final proposal.

Editiing...

Today I edited two people's proposals and got one back from someone who edited mine. When I get back the edit from Mr. Hamilton I will begin to revise, my own proposal. The next step after revising my proposal my next step is to really develop my notes so that I can start and complete my outline for my paper.

Proposal

Today, I turned in my proposal. Also, I read through it and marked it up pretty good with edits. And this made me realized that I am my biggest critic. My next step is to get other people to read through it and get some feed back from people who aren't me.

Proposal & Interview

Today, I finally finished up my proposal. Also, I sent an email to Lori Berger who works at the CLO and I asked her if she would possibly be available for an interview. It was an overall productive day.

Proposal

I have been working on my proposal and should be done with it by the end of the week but here is what I have so far:

Paragraph 2: Why are you doing this project? etc

I am doing this project because it is something that is a personal interest of mine. It is something that I truly care about and have put my heart into for almost three years in drama club, and it is a genuine interest of mine. Also, it is one of the only things that I could do that I could make a project out of and be able to hold my interest so that I don’t want to change my topic every five seconds. There are a few things that I wish to learn from doing this project. First of all, I would like to explore different directing techniques used by different directors and I would like to evaluate them based on the information that I have gathered. Then after I have determined which one is the best technique I will put it to practice and use the techniques to direct my own play.

Paragraph 4: Resources

In the process of completing my project there are many resources that I am going to have to refer to. One of the most prominent resources in my project will be Mr. Ringold, who is the creator of the City Charter High School Drama and Theater Group. He will be one of my main resources because I will need to refer to him when I have questions regarding the direction of my play. Also, I will need to run the final direction by him before it can be performed. Other people that I can use as resources are people that I interview. I will also need the help of some technological resources. These will include, mostly a video camera to videotape my adventures as a director, and of course a video editor to edit the video to my liking. Also, I will probably find good use of a regular camera as well, to show the theater and the stage and other resources I have that will be important to the project.

I also completed some of the introduction but it really isn't worth posting if you ask me.

whoa....

Today I decided to take a step back and put writing the proposal on hold and start developing my notes a little bit more. So that is what I basically did today I continued to develop my notes and such, which I will probably continue to do throughout the rest of the week.
