Project Selection - Film

So far we have watched a number of well-made and popular films and TV shows. Towards the beginning of the year we got to watch "Ferris Bueller's Day Off." The comedy is one of the first to have the main character talking directly to the camera/audience. After watching the film we got to watch the directors cut. This really helped to explain how the film was made and what goes into the creation of a movie. We also watched the TV show "The Newsroom." This show focused on how TV news is created and what goes into the news each night. We also got to watch the directors cut for this show which really helped to illustrate the process of creating and writing a TV show. The filming project could be a good choice for my group and I, but it may not be the best. We are organized and creative but acting would prove to be difficult and may not turn out as good as we want it to.
