The moment we knew

After a week-long, stressful discussion, Lauren and I have officially come to a consensus regarding which idea we will be producing for our documentary excerpt! 

Considering both our intense passions for media creation and admiration of the large variation of media texts available to society, we concluded that producing the third option, mentioned in one of my previous blog posts, is the best choice for us. Ideally, we plan on creating a 3 episode documentary series in which each episode details different production processes for all modes of media text: auditory, visual, and physical, represented through a podcast, a short film, and a yearbook.

In the podcast episode, the one we will actually be producing for the 5-minute excerpt, Lauren and I will follow our friends Sai and Josh in the creation of their podcast "Contact Crunchers," in which they discuss sports analytical matters. On the other hand, for our social media-represented episodes, we will follow our classmates Riley and Abby in their production of a short film and the editor-in-chief of our school yearbook "The Storm," Constanza, in her duties and interactions with other members.

For now, Lauren and I plan on each episode being approximately 25-30 minutes long. However, we both agreed that we must conduct more research in order to be fully prepared for our own production process, which officially begins next week. Personally, I am thrilled to be able to call watching documentaries "research," and cannot wait to commence that journey as well. 

P.S.: I hope my Taylor-Swift-themed blog titles are amusing :)
