Senior Project Log

Directions: During the Senior Project you will keep an up-to-date record of the effort, problems, solutions, results, and time you
have spent working on your paper and
project. This log will be a part of the Portfolio that you will turn in before your presentation. Your log will be checked four times
throughout the course of the year.

There will be two parts to your log entries. The first part will pertain to the facts regarding your project. The second part will be a
reflective writing on your feelings
about the project. You must use complete sentences in the reflective section. IMPORTANT: There are four due dates for these logs;
however, begin a new log each time
you complete ten hours on your project.

Reflective Entry
1. Explain what you did during this log period. The length of this section will depend on the amount of time you have spent
on the project during this period of time. If you collected money, where have you deposited it? *Submit at least one artifact
as evidence of work done on this log.

I edited the footage filmed before break, finally finished the script, scheduled the prank scene,
filmed a little bit of Act 3, and proposed a filming schedule to my partner.

2. What problems have you encountered so far? How have you adhered to your original timeline?

My partner is sick and we were supposed to go shopping today after school for supplies for
the prank scene so I ask one of our friends to drive me so I still go shopping. We were
planning on using the week that we had snow for filming but that’s a bust. I figured that if we
break up what remains into sections and spend a week on the them each we will get done.
The problem with that is that one of the sections has lots of dialogue.

3. Were you able to solve them? If not, why not? What adjustments have you made to your original timeline?

Currently my partner is still sick and I can’t cure her illness. Other then that, all current
problems have been fixed.

4. What are your feelings or thoughts about the project at this time?

I feel like this project was too much for two people alone to do but, I’m grateful for the
experience and the help from those who are working as our actors.
5. Have you had any successes, or have you learned something new?

I learned that it’s easier and quicker to edit video without conversing with my partner. I only
did basic edits nothing complex and if she wants a type of effect I’ll be the one doing it. I feel
bad not letting her edit much but I don’t want to lose all the progress that we’ve made so far
and an amachure can certainly do that without even realizing it.
