This needs to be shared with me by Wednesday, March 6. Also post the answers on your Blogger.
How did you decide on your Big Idea?
I thought coming of age was something I could relate to as well as other people, and the theme typically produces good, entertaining movies.
How did you decide on a way to show that Big Idea through video?
By doing a narrative/epic type movie showing an adventure flashback that a man walking among his old memories reconciles.
What video concepts did you decide not to do? Why?
I had the idea to do a coming of age movie right away I did not really develop any other Big Ideas.
Do you feel you effectively talked about your Big Idea with your video? Why or why not?
For the most part. I think I could have emphasized the points I wanted to show a little better, for example I wanted to show how coming of age involves sacrificing what you want sometimes. I also wanted to show how adventures are typically the strongest memories you have when you think back to what you have learned from and what makes you who you are today.
What was the best part of this process (brainstorming, writing, planning, shooting, editing, etc?) Why was it the best for you?
I enjoyed the writing and editing of this movie the most. I enjoyed the writing because I could pretty much write whatever story I wanted without constraints and get excited about what my movie looked like on paper. Editing was fun too because of how bad the acting was in the movie and the need for all artificial sound it was quite the challenge.
What was the best part of choosing your own Big Idea as opposed to me setting one for you? The worst part?
It makes you much more interested to create the video and also makes it more personal in the sense of the idea of the movie and in the style and format. And obviously, the worst part of choosing your own idea was the difficulty in deciding on what to do since there are so many routes you can take.
Propose one additional Big Idea video idea that you could accomplish by March 14. I want very specific details: what, who, why, how, when, where.
My new idea for a BIG IDEA 2 is to do an animation about greed/the american dream/whatever you want it to be. Usually, I don't lean towards serious movies or ideas, so this will be new. However, I plan to make it a lighter, simple video on the surface with a deeper meaning as you dig, since this is more towards my style and honestly I can't stand overly serious high school films. I will only have to use myself, so that will be helpful since the biggest problem that occurred with my last video was getting actors. It will be a single scene movie of two people, one young and one old, at a bus stop where the younger really wants to see what the old man is reading. Then, the old man throws the paper away and walks off and the younger guy pulls it out of the trash to read. He opens it and realizes that it is blank, and he gets frustrated and throws it away as well (and leaves). As an foreshadowing kind of conclusion, there will be another guy who walks into he shot and find the paper in the trash, and pulls it out and the movie ends as the audience can infer the cycle continues as it does with greed and the american dream.

intervention writing
-Intervention is interrupting everyday life with something out of the ordinary. For instance, the "Wonder"
sign that Mr. Aumiller found had made him stop and ask "why is this here" and "what does this mean".
-The purpose was to think about ways to intervene into someone's daily routine. Also, one of the
challenges was to not make it a prank, but rather an uplifting intervention.
-With my can opener drive intervention I wanted to bring up a pretty obvious, sensible idea that gets
overlooked when people hold can drives. I mean how do people really open all those cans!? I was
interested to see what kind of reaction it would get and if anyone would actually donate any.
-I picked my location (the school) because it is a common place where they hold can drives so it made
sense to hold a can opener drive here. Also, I thought it would be a funny place to see how people were
shocked or disgusted by the idea.
-improv everywhere for their thinking of big, unusual things. The pot hole gardener for making life out of
dead places (the school), and can drives for prompting the need for can openers.
Artist statement:

Artist statement:
Have you ever been a part of a can drive or seen one? Ever wondered how all of those cans get opened? Well for me it was a logical and troubling question that I needed to put an end to. Therefore at Hilliard Davidson, I started a can opener drive.
I set up a basic box with a word document reading “can opener drive--help open cans from can drives” in the hallway outside the office to see what kind of result I would get. After a day, I went to check on it and it was shoved inside of the ‘Used Sporting Goods’ donation box. I went to put it in a more highly populated area, so I took it to the blood drive table. Unfortunatly, I started this project pretty late and did not collect any can openers.
Even though no can openers were collected, I think the point of the project was reached. I think that people seeing the can opener drive made them stop and think about how their really is a lack of can openers to supplement can drives, and for those few seconds their daily life was intervened with. I enjoyed doing this project because it was pretty open in terms of what you could do, but I think it also affected people other than myself so all in all, this was a fun and effective project.

Corgan Rolling stone
Billy Corgan rolling stone article
1) It begins by the author writing that Billy is very depressed despite his past music success and has recently contemplated suicide.
2) The author used the quote from Billy that in the morning he has a choice of "Go eat breakfast, or go kill yourself." to show his depression.
3) He is trying to say he is a depressed person even though he has had great music success, and that his new music has not had good success.
4) The author does not write himself into the article, I do not think it would have been necessary to do so.
5) Definitely opinionated; the author clearly uses some harsh language against Corgan and highlights his depression and whining throughout the article.
