1.) What has worked well for you concerning senior project this year?  What has made it a positive experience for you?

A: Over the past couple of months that I have been working on this senior project, I feel as though it has been going exceptionally well. I’ve been able to conduct very good and meaningful research through the use of my newly found resources that I was able to discover.  In addition, I love my senior topic. I feel as though this love I have really helps my drive to better myself as a filmmaker trying to make an impactful film on audiences. Because of the fact that I am thoroughly interested, I believe that I could take this information past my senior project and apply this into all my personal work and potentially my professional work one day. This project is really helping me invest in my career and I really enjoy that aspect.

2.) What are you finding difficult concerning senior project?  How can you adapt to make that portion work better for you?  How might the senior team help?

A: To be completely honest, I haven’t ran into anything that I could deem as difficult, regarding the senior project. So far I have thoroughly enjoyed my time conducting research and learning about film, because it gives me the excuse to delve deeper into the craft and analyze things about moviemaking that I normally wouldn’t have time to do. However, now that this project takes up a large portion of my working time, I can now make room for it and be assessed on something I love to do. As of right now, I think that the work portion is a good amount to manage. I think if I change my schedule around a little more regarding extra-curricular activities, I could fit more time in for research and project work. I  believe that I am currently doing alright and do not need the assistance of the senior team at the moment. However, if a situation does arise, I will not hesitate to contact and inform the teachers in order to see how I may go about the issue at hand.
