February 8th

On Friday, Melissa and I made great progress with Final Cut Pro. We figured out how to convert the program so that it could upload our files, and then we practiced uploading footage. We found a few websites that are helpful and also checked out 2 books from the library about Final Cut Pro. Melissa and I also started a document that lists instructions for doing simple things on the camera, such as removing the battery and uploading footage. This way, any of our group members can have access to this knowledge, even when we're not present. Kennedy, Maya, and Laura went to go look for lighting. We never heard back from them so we're hoping they found some. Lauren was sick so Melissa and I were on our own in the library. Mr. Eizyk said he would be willing to volunteer for a practice interview if we ever need him. I haven't heard anything from Maya, so I'm assuming mr. Lopez hasn't responded yet. I'm hoping he will be able to give us feedback before we need to start filming. Carter said he potentially has a mic we could use. We still need to find curtains, although I've decided we should check the prop closet first, just in case. On Monday we are presenting to the department heads and on Tuesday we are hoping to start filming. Let's hope everything goes well!
