This week I have been going over and over in my head about my final product. I am being very encouraged to make an educational video about the emotions of animals and their interaction with humans. I love video and I like editing is a lot of fun, but for some reason this idea scares me. Mainly because I wouldn't know where to start or what it would consist of. I like the idea of a video but I don't know if I have enough to work with to make a good informational yet interesting short film.
Last night, I was reading my favorite book to my sister as I do every night. Oh, the Places You'll Go! by Dr. Seuss. Every time I read this book all the hopes I have in life get reassured and I feel powerful. I've always thought that the best way to convey a message is through visual interaction and storytelling. This was a slap in the face about the video idea because videos are exactly that. But what about a children's book? Through my research I came across a lot of dense literature about animals and personally when I want to learn the most important things about something in a very easy manner I look for the children's version.
I'm torn between filming, writing, drawing, and presenting. As I'm writing this more ideas are coming into mind and now I'm thinking 'hey, why not do both?' I could go backwards and make a book based on a film.
This week I have just been focusing on trying to figure out what my finally product should be and this is something I will continue to work on because right now it is the most important task. I have done so much research all along and the experience of living with animals I feel was an entire project in itself. I'm thinking about talking to Garden of Eve and Catapano Dairy about their feelings towards their goats and observing if its true that when you have them as livestock they aren't as meaningful as when they're more like pets. Maybe I'm just too much of an animal lover and got too attached to my goats, or I could be right. This will help guide me in finding if others connect to their livestock the way I did with mine and if they also believe that they have very intricate emotions as well.
My goal to accomplish by next Thursday, October 1, is having a concrete idea of what my product will be. Childrens book? Short educational film? Both? Farm?
