 * Simon,

I appreciate the impulse to kill two birds with one stone, and that seems fine, but I also think there are three birds here, at least in terms of the workload that I'm expecting for this class. Beyond memorializing your experiences as they happen, I'd like for there to be some aspect of research and discovery here. I'll let you decide how this manifests itself, but I think doing some writing and research on aspects of your field that you find related to your endeavor might be a good tack to take. This will take the piece beyond journaling, and into the kind of intellectual search that is the theme of the class. Ballpark: I'd like to see the journals amounting to a few thousand words by the end, organized thoughtfully and edited so they don't appear to be just for personal use. Additionally, produce a research paper of about a thousand words that analyzes some aspect of your filming. Consider researching an issue that is frustrating or perplexing to you. It could be anything: a film process, a technical spec, an essay on group dynamics.
 * Best, Stevenarntson
