Project Selection- Film

Based on what we have watched and discussed in class the film project would be a good fit. By watching Nixon by Nixon and All the President's Men I was exposed to the more risky side of journalism. The way they were trying to collect information and get sources was a little dangerous and required dedication. They had to continuously pursue their sources and drill them for on the record information. We also watched Ferris Bueller's Day Off and that immersed us into the film making aspects of production. After and during the film we discussed some of the decisions made by the producers and why. Also, we watched the video of the comments made by the film makers and in that they explained their reasoning behind their decisions and what effect they had on the film. I feel that after watching and discussing what we have in class, I have the skills necessary to successfully complete the film project.
