Blog Ten -- Group Update

Our group has only had one opportunity to meet, though that only involved two of us. However, we have a meeting scheduled for Tuesday evening. At this time we hope to finalize a script and assign specific tasks to each member of the group. In the coming days, it would be great to start the actual filming process.

We have an overall theme (plot line) for our film, which I think is engaging and inventive. Our plan is to create the feeling of a late night talk show. This includes a monologue by the host, games, interviews, and a segment like Jay Leno's "Jaywalking." Our goal is to entertain our audience, while simultaneously educating them. Hopefully it will translate as such!
