Brendan Mathieu – Senior Project: Making a Travel Documentary

So what did I get done this week? Not much. Part of the reason was because I only had two days of class this week, being Monday and Tuesday, and the remainder of the week was a local production of fiddler on the roof, and then a concert in Boston on Thursday meaning I couldn’t make it back to school on Friday. So who’s ready for the two day post? Let’s jump right in…

For my two days of classes I focused almost entirely on my annotated bibliography, and got two more sources down. I watched an episode of “The Vietnam War”, A documentary my mentor Brian Lee worked on, and then I looked at the YouTube Wikipedia page, to see if there was anything on the algorithm and how its changed in there.

These two sources gave me mixed results and I honestly don’t have much to say about them. I think “The Vietnam War” was a great show, and I did pick up on a couple editing tricks that I may want to talk to Brain about in our next meeting. And YouTube’s Wiki page… Yeah I didn’t get much from there. It wasn’t completely useless as there was an interesting part about the copyright system and the backlash YouTube still gets from there AI system being able to hide videos automatically if it senses something copyright. Not exactly what I was looking for but it is important to learn about for the future.

But yeah, that basically ends my short post about this short week. Next week I will hopefully be able to get back on track and blast forward now that we have a full week back at school… Wait… The eclipse is on Monday and we don’t have school… And we miss Thursday too because it’s conference day…

Oh No…
