Documentary

We started learning about documentaries in class and we were able to watch various types of documentaries to better understand them. Some of these documentaries were: Abstract: The Art of Design, American Promise, and Exit Through the Gift Shop. 

For this project, I was paired with Mel Bertalan and Andres Benavente. We originally had another idea that we were somewhat set on but Mrs. Stoklosa did not believe it represented our group well, and she was right. We wanted our documentary to be interesting (obviously) but also be something many could relate to. What better way to relate to a group of people than to discuss procrastination. Unfortunately, it is something that many of us can relate to in many aspects of our lives, whether that is procrastinating work, school, or chores, we have all been there at least once. 

We divided our documentary into sections and for each of them, compiled some questions we believed would be the most interesting and produce detailed answers. Mel and I interviewed three different people, Derek Amador, Clara Vansan, and Luana Ferreira; while Andres interviewed Tomas Aparicio. We knew we wanted to include three people in our documentary but we interviewed one extra person just in case something went wrong, and it is a good thing we did that. While we were watching back the videos and Andres was editing the documentary, we noticed the audio for Luana's interviews was harder to hear. We ended up using Derek's, Clara's, and Tomas's interviews, and they actually had diverse answers and are different types of students. 

One specific topic within our procrastination topic we wanted to discuss is the science behind it. I found some articles on the negative effects of procrastination and how it impacts the brain. We researched and even included graphics so the audience can have a better understanding of what we were talking about.
