It's still unclear on whether this panel will function, but this i will do for now. I'm supposed to have four people for my review panel and so far I have only three. My review panel will have: Jeremy Duncan, Vic Asrani(mentor), and Eliot Tucker(Board Member) or his son-in-law,(who I have not met or know, but is said to be familiar with a lot of film and movie type technology). Jeremy Duncan is a math teacher and Varsity Soccer Coach at the Chinquapin School. He is also quite familiar with how technology runs around the school campus and has helped me throughout my senior project with film clips and ideas. Vic Asrani, my college mentor, is an architect who, even though doesn't have a lot of experience with film, enjoys movies and is gladly willing to give any input and ideas as to how to make my movie project better. Now Eliot Tucker is a man whom I had the pleasure to meet at an opera and through his love for such entertainment I chose him as well, to help me out with this project. Little is known about him, but he is a great person to talk to and I have enjoyed his company. In his case, he doesn't know much, but will help in any way and, also he has a son-in-law who recently made a movie and published it nationwide through PBS. His help and, hopefully his son-in-law's, will come in handy and I hope to talk to them soon. The evaluation of this project though will consists of creativity, message, was it educational/inspiring and other factors such as if I had an understanding as to what I was doing and if my project went well.
My research wasn't much, regretfully I must say, but I went out to find the movie that I thought provided a key message and a story to relate to the audience. Even though my project was more based on my life, I see that the movies I used for my project will make a point and provide motivation for others to incorporate certain elements that the film or movie contains and use them in their lives. The movies I have studied and will use for my project are: The Lion King, Remember the Titans, and Band of Brothers miniseries. These movies are the essential are the foundation for this project apart from the message I'm to give during or throughout the film. Yet, my greatest challenge, during and throughout the winter break, would be to actually see what I am to do for my project and how not just show the movies in to an audience at my school, but perhaps look up successful presentations in which hand outs can be passed around and questions are to be answered. Not about the movie itself, but how it makes the audience feel and think. Perhaps even have them write a short paragraph describing their emotions or the way they think should have have been made. A bigger, and perhaps too big, I would want to contact Tom Hanks or Steven Spielberg, not just because they did the Band of Brothers miniseries well, but also ask questions and help me get a better idea as to make my project better.
After all this I hope my project comes out well and makes a lasting impact to Chinquapin students and perhaps other people around the world.
Read The Call of Stories. This book has a concept that you might apply to film. Also, check with Cathy in the library. We have some video clips meant to help with character education.
