Project Update

As we get closer and closer to the end of our first year of college, our project is coming along very well.  We have already met several times not including the allotted time during class to film and discuss our paper.  Filming has gone much better than expected.  We thought that we would be struggling to fill video time but we actually had to cut some scenes from our storyboard because the other important scenes were taking too much time.  We filmed Matthew and I waking up and doing our everyday routine and we filmed a scene with us each individually talking to our football coach about a scholarship opportunity.  We used one of Matthew's friends for the coach which turned out very well.  He was well-dressed for the part and he played an excellent coach in the video.  We then filmed scenes of Matthew receiving the scholarship and getting the scholarship taken away from him which was a very traumatic experience for him.  We then filmed Matthew and I working out in the Byrnes basement gym.  We ended up filming way more video than we needed for those scenes and cut it down a lot.  I have began to write my portion of the paper as well.  I am responsible for discussing steroids in professional sports.  It has turned out to be a very interesting topic.  Going into the project I thought I knew pretty much all there is to know about steroids but after further research, I have learned a great deal of interesting information about the drug its self and the evolution of the use of steroids in sports.
