During the first class, I presented my idea for my film about foster care and adoption. It seemed to be well-recieved, but there were few questions after my presentation. Not sure if this is due to the fact that I was one of the last to present and everyone was tired/zoned out or that people don’t know a lot about my subject so they don’t know what to ask about or there was little interest or what.
My project is going to be a mainly positive look at foster care. I’m not going to try and make it sound like everything is sunshine and rainbows – the system clearly has problems – but I want to point out its positive aspects. In doing so, I believe I will be presenting a message that will encourage more people to adopt, become a foster parent, or help foster kids in some way.
I still wasn’t sure as to whether my project would be on the more autobiographical side of things. Although I already had my first trip to the island planned out for the end of week 2, I wasn’t sure what parts of the film I was going to shoot just yet.
