Documentary!

Though the grant has officially been over for almost a month now, Jaclyn and I have still been hard at work getting everything ready for our conference presentation on the project this coming winter. Among other things we hope to share at the conference, we've produced a brief documentary on the course!

Day 14: Last Class

Much of our last class was spent on organizational matters (course evaluations, equipment returns, etc.), but we did make time to hold an informal public screening of the students' final projects. All of the projects were fun to watch yet really different from one another—it was definitely interesting to see just how far everyone had come over the course of just one semester. The audience seemed to really enjoy the films as well, not minding that we went a fair amount over our anticipated run-time.

The goal is to have all the finished projects posted here on the blog, so check back soon to see the results of all the students' hard work this semester!

Day 13: Editing

Our second-to-last class was spent in the editing lab, giving the students time to organize and log all their footage and begin the process of piecing it all together. Collaborative editing has the potential to lead to conflict and disagreement, but both groups were incredibly receptive of all of their members' ideas and did a great job of working together to put together something they could all be excited about.

Though it was an extremely productive class, neither group quite finished, meaning we're in for a bit of a surprise this coming Friday when we watch the final products in class. This screening (which should include the "premiere" of the two group projects as well as some independent projects) is open to anyone in the Tufts community—not just members of the class—so feel free to stop by the dance studio in Jackson at 1:00pm on Friday, April 24, if you want to see what the students have been working on.
