I will admit up front that I am procrastinating. I *should* be doing some bibliography work for my media literacy research project. Instead, I am doing everything else–watching Triumph of the Will, canceling my cell phone, doing laundry. It is amazing how much I get done when I am procrastinating! Is there some adult learning principle at work here? What we learn we were are supposed to be learning something else?
Anyway, as part of that procrastination, I thought I would doing a learning contract update. I have taken the first steps towards learning Final Cut Pro. I am pretty happy with my first movie and got lots of positive feedback from the class. This weekend, I want to dig into some of the Lewis and Clark footage I’ve got. I’m considering doing something that combines footage from our trip with excerpts from my journal and the L&C journals. Contrast their journey with ours. First, though, I need to get a look at what’s there. It’s been seven or eight years since we took the trip. I reviewed some of the footage this summer, but need to go back through it with a “cinematographer’s” eye.
