I wish I had the time to make every episode by April 10th, but with my packed schedule, making a 5-minute excerpt for one will already be quite a challenge. The question is, which of the five episodes will I be making? For this, I made a Pros and Cons chart on each subject.
Contrary to popular demand. I am doing the Mathletes!!! Everyone keeps on telling me "You're so lame why would you do it on math" but I almost see it as a challenge. How can I make a math competition look engaging and intense? I also have never seen something like it before and I love making unique things. Coincidentally a close friend of mine was the president of MAO last year and when I told her the idea she, first, LOVED IT, and second told me that they actually have a competition the first week of March. If that's not perfect, I don't know what is. It fits with my schedule perfectly!
I got the phone number of the current president to see if I could interview him, but I also need to stop by the sponsor's classroom to ask if I can do this and film during their competition. I am so excited! I really hope they say yes, I can even pretend like I'm filming the math scene from Mean Girls.
I will keep you guys up to date with the responses I get from the MAO community but as of right now, my brain is spiraling with ideas for B-roll and interview questions. I really need to organize my ideas and create an outline for what I'm going to create and how I plan on implementing the video game aspect. Things to keep in mind when continuing to develop the project:
- You are creating a 5 minute excerpt for a longer documentary episode, Don't cover every topic (I'm thinking I'll probably pick the first 5 minutes of the episode)
- Keep a consistent style for all the (hypothetical) episodes, in this case the video game
- Remember to make the social media page cause you have to post that periodically,
