Pitch A: A group of friends go on a vacation cruse, and there is a drastic change in weather. Pitch B: A group of high school friends go on a camping trip for spring break, but what is watching them from the shadows.  Discussion for Pitch A: There are many reasons why I would be interested in making this film. One reason is, it would be enjoyable to go on a cruise with a group of my friends to record this. The second reason I would be interested in filming this it’s because I think it would have a great outcome. There are also some reasons that would make this film difficult to produce.

When it came to choosing classmates to work with on this project, I didn't . Instead, I chose to work alone. I choose to work alone for many reasons. First, I didn't know who I should work with because I don't know many people in this class. Also, the people that I do know were already working with other people. Second, I chose to work alone because I don't know if I could rely on other people in my class to do their part in the project. I don't know if I could rely on them to show up for filming or video and if they would do all their blogs and on time. The third and I chose to work alone is because I like taking time on my work. I like making high quality work and didn't want to feel rushed by a group. The fourth reason I chose to work alone is because of the   desire for full control over decision-making and project direction. I en joy the ability to work on my own terms. The fifth reason I chose to work alone is to m inimize distractions and inte...

 Hi, my name is Dylan Tanner. My birthday is October 29, 2007. At home I live with my Mom, Dad, younger sister, younger brother, and my dog Finn. We got Finn during the online school era of the pandemic. Me and my Mom (mostly me) would be home to take care and train Finn, while my younger siblings were at school, and my Dad was at work. I love hanging out with my family. We love watching movie's together, riding our bikes, going on vacation, and boating. I love activities that involve the water; like fishing, boating/jet skiing, and snorkeling. Other activities I also enjoy are tennis, ping pong, pool (the game), biking, and video games. I am really excited to turn 16 and get my drivers license, and my car. My friends and I are all really into cars and we like to go to car meets and take pictures. I am also have a very good sense of knowledge about almost everything boat related. When it comes to school, I am very good at math, science, and robotics. I am a very good writer when I ...

The challenges of this project and conventions of society gave me good reasons to pick the song that I chose and the many different aspects it represents other than just another baseball tune. I decided upon the song ‘Centerfield’ by John Fogerty because of the many different messages the words in the song portrays. The genre of the song is American Rock and Roll which seems to represent a fun day playing America’s favorite pastime—baseball. However, when you take the time to really analyze the lyrics—the song actually says so much more. The underlying meaning of the words sung by Fogerty can focus on just a simple ballgame or the game of life itself. When analyzing the video, the words reflect many life lessons along with the ballgame lessons. Fogerty’s lyrics reflect a person who has watched life, and the ballgame mostly from the bench or the sidelines without ever really getting involved. After seeing many of his heroes also fail and get back up time and time again, the lyrics con...
