Our 20% Time project is ending, in the beginning I my partner and I were full invested and wanted to create a flawless great project. However as time progressed it became our 3rd or 4th priority instead of our first or second. Because of that we are pretty far off schedule. Since the presentation is approaching quickly, my partner and I are going to work to try and deliver the quality work that we intended in the beginning. 

As of now we are working on editing our film, the editing process is difficult due to the fact that neither my partner or I  have experience with editing programs. 

Overall we have been pretty successful. We have all immediate family who apply, interviewed, we just need to find more people outside of our families to be apart of our production. 

Some changes I would make if I had this class another semester wold be to just prioritize more effectively, and just stay on top of things and filming to ensure that I have enough time to edit.

Once again my partner and I have been falling behind with recording new interviews. With my track schedule and her cheer schedule it has been a little difficult to touch bases. Since that has been a continuous setback we have decided to begin interviewing people separately. 
We are determined to become as passionate about this documentary as we were in the very beginning. We plan to go to the LA area and find random people to interview, that way our documentary is not solely based on family members and friends.

My partner and I have made a lot of progress since our last blog. This past weekend we interviewed a variety of people within the community. We want to not only interview family but also random people who are subjects of injustice. 

In case there is any confusion, our documentary is not solely based on autism. Our first subject just happened to have autism. Our goal is to bring awareness to those who are looked down upon, whether it's because of race, sexuality, age, disability, or simply looking different or dressing different. We want to show how people feel in order to stop or lower injustice.

Our next task is to begin editing the footage that we already have. That is going to be an obstacle due to the fact that neither my partner nor I have experience in editing videos.

Due to our busy schedules with sports and school, my partner and I have not been able to interview anyone new, but have plans on who and when we will do it. This upcoming weekend we plan to interview the mother of a son who is highly autistic to see how it has been for her and him throughout their lives. Our time conflicting has definitely been a setback. So because of that we decided to interview Kelsie's brother again, but this time on a happier subject. We talked about his life now and school and how well he is doing, which is all good things to hear, knowing that things have gotten better for him since he was younger. 

Following the interview of the mother with the autistic child we plan on interviewing my mom and sister, due to the fact that my sister is lesbian. We also plan to interview anyone, willing, in the community that stands out, or is different from everyone else.+

My partner and I have made some great progress on our documentary. So far we have video taped one person and asked him numerous questions about his lifestyle. We video taped a 12 year old boy named Kyle who has aspergers. This experience was very emotional, watching him tell his story and how his disability has effected his life. Taping him helped me learn how alienated someone can feel.
Something IO learned about myself was that I don't really pay much attention to people like Kyle, not to say that I ignore or bully them but I have never stopped to think how they feel or how they live their lives as well as what struggles they undergo.
My partner and I have not had much time to interview more people, however we do have a list of people that we would like to document when we get the time. This weekend Kelsie and I are planning to complete another interview of someone with a son who has a severe case of autism.
With what I have learned I plan to show the community the exact struggles that people go through and how it hurts and effects them.

20% Time is a program that was created by Google, allowing their employees to work on a subject that they are passionate about. It gives them the freedom to pursue something that they may not have had time to work on. In our class we are replicating the same idea. We are asked how we will enhance our world.

I plan to do so by creating a documentary that is focused on discrimination and injustice of ordinary people. People who are autistic or people who have ALS, those who are LGBT or anyone who is bullied. I chose this because it is a problem that needs to be fixed, also because I have first hand experience with this subject. 

My goals are to interview everyday people that are discriminated, people in my family and close friends. I ultimately just want to bring awareness and show true experiences.
