Week 30

It was another exciting week in the Independent Study and Mentorship Program. I feel like my final product is finally coming together.

Over the course of the week, I worked on updating my portfolio, got caught up on assignments, planned ahead, and visited WFAA-TV headquarters.

During our mentor visit, Mr. Trahan and I discussed future plans for the Final Product. Everything is coming along nicely and we should be able to produce a great story.

Unfortunately the video logs I took during several of my mentor visits have disappeared. So I will have to complete those again, but this will give me more practice. We are looking to conduct at least one more interview, and up to three more. This will allow our story to cover an issue from all angles. I can not wait to see how everything turns out.

One thing I will need to figure out very soon is how to get footage of wildlife for the story. I have a goPro that would be absolutely perfect, but I will need to find a way to spy on wildlife or bring it to me. One of my dad's suggestions was using one of his hunting calls to call in bobcats and coyotes and gather footage that way. I am excited to see how this will unfold.

I am very excited to start writing the story once we have obtained our last crucial interview next week.
