1. I have made some significant progress in my capstone so far this semester. I have captured a ton of footage that is going to me used in my film. Most of the footage I have is of climbers out on the rock doing certain routes and of the community at different campsites and climbing areas.
2. I have been meeting with my mentor at least every other week. Sometimes once a week. We have mostly talked about the progress that I have made on the footage and what footage I need to focus on getting next. We have also talked about the story and how I can start developing it with interviews and some interview techniques to capture the essence that I am looking for in this film.
3. My timeline hasn't really changed all that much. I am pretty much still on track. Some things have gotten pushed back but thats only due to the fact that I have a lot more interviews than I anticipated at the beginning. I will have to shoot some interviews in the spring semester and also maybe go back out and shoot some more footage of climbing, but I have allowed for that buffer already so as of now I can still say that I am on track.
4. I still need a lot more footage before I start the N499 course. I have planned for that course to mostly consist of the post production work of my film so I need to be almost finished shooting footage by then. I don't plan on taking that class until next fall so I have plenty of time to plan and make sure that everything is captured and cataloged before heading into post production.
5. I haven't had any significant changes to the project since we have started. The way the story is going be told is going to be slightly different than originally thought, but still the same idea will be conveyed.
