Capstone Proposal:
We need to learn to and then teach others how to cherish and appreciate nature. We are going to do this by making a film. The footage in this film is going to be from our experiences and outings we have planned in different parts of Southern California. We want this film to be the product that shows what we’ve learned and inspires others to follow the steps we took to learn how to appreciate the world that we live in. This includes taking care of these environments to preserve them for future generations so that other people can have the amazing experiences that we had the opportunity to be a part of.
We have a personal Canon camera, gopro, access to a school drone, and two polaroids to gather footage professionally.
Our parents are taking us to Joshua Tree and Palomar Mountain for camping trips over the weekend. We will also be taking trips to the beach in our free time. Our teachers also will be taking us on a trip to the tide pools at Sunset Cliffs to gather footage during school.
We have considered all of the safety precautions we need to take. Our trips outside of school to gather footage have nothing to do with the project. So the safety precautions we take there will have nothing to do with the school, our teacher, or this project.
In the instance that Eva and I couldn’t go out to one of the camping trips we would plan the trip for another date because we have two weeks of extra time designated towards mistakes and editing if we need more time.

Individual Role Update:
What am I in charge of and what have I done:
Editing our film and getting our dates/footage organized. So far i've finished 1/3 of our movie but there is still much more I need to get done.
What am I going to do next:
We are going to gather more film and finish editing. The most important thing on my list right now, is gathering film and going on outings.
What have I learned so far during my open exploration:
I feel I have connected with nature more, which is comforting. The Ocean is so accessible and it feels like I rarely visit it. Which is mainly the point of our film, is to get people more in touch with their surroundings and care about what is going on around them. The world is a beautiful place and we need more people to recognize that and cherish it this natural gift.

Personal Progress Report:
Lately I have been planning outing and editing the film we have gotten so far for Eva and I's final movie. So far we have had three outing at Ocean Beach here in San Diego since it's so accessible. But this following weekend we will have a day trip going out to Julian, California to get "personal footage" which we will be putting into our movie. The weekend after that we will hopefully be able to go to Joshua Tree, California to get more "personal footage" and work my way to finish editing the footage and then create the voice overs from our scripts.
Over All Group Progress Report:
We completed our proposal weeks ago and have gone on our school outing with a teacher and gathered footage. We have done another beach trip in our own time to gather more footage at Ocean Beach. We have a trip planned to Joshua Tree during Thanksgiving break on Monday the 21st. We are very excited to gather footage of the stars. Although, we do need to learn the camera settings and modes to get that film. I have tried previously and never got the proper instruction to take those pictures. they turned out all blurry. But my friend she could teach me how to do it. I am very excited and we are staying in a really cool house and then I am visiting my aunt on the way home in Palm Springs.
