Wrapping Up the Film

This is tumblr tuesday week 13, where we start creating a plan of action. 

a.) What days and times will you commit to the project? 

I will commit to the project on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. I will continue to gather data throughout those days when I have time. 

b.) What days/times are you working as a group and when will you work alone?

My group and I will work on the project on Tuesdays at 3pm and Fridays at 9am as well as after class if necessary. On Mondays and Thursdays I will work throughout the day on the project by myself, getting valuable information to show my group the next day. 

c.) Specifically, what aspect of the project will you address on each of those days?

On Mondays and Thursdays I will gather data by myself and begin to put together an introduction. On Tuesdays and Fridays I will meet with my group and we will begin to put together all of our assigned sections and data we have accumulated for the project. 

d.) Specifically, what will you do to complete those aspects of the project?

To complete those aspects of the project, I will work and continue to gather data that will benefit our project. When my group meets we will be able to put together all of our work to finish the project with all of our help.

e.) What specific aspects of the assignment are you most concerned about? What can you do to address those concerns?

A specific aspect I am most concerned about is finding a scholarly article that will help benefit our topic for the documentary. My original topic is very different form the new topic my group has chosen and will be a little difficult to find a good scholarly article that will support our documentary. To address my concerns I will continue to research for a paper that will best support my group’s thesis.

f.) what specific aspects of the assignment are you most comfortable with? Why?

The specific aspects of the assignment I am most comfortable with is the editing of the project. I know with the help of my group we will be able to work together to make everything work.

Creating a plan

The next thing on my 'to-do'-list, was creating a plan. Therefore, I made a so-called SWOT-analysis about myself. I'm not going to explain what it's all about, but briefly, it contains elements that I'm good at and also things I'm bad at. Besides that, I wrote down activities that would make me feel happier. And last but not least, I thought about things in my life that make me feel sad

By now, you should have a whole bunch of actions that you can take that will increase your happiness. With a clear road map of things to do, you now have a personalized way to improve your life and make yourself happier

After writing this SWOT-analysis, I was able to set up a sort of bucketlist with goals that I want to complete during the next year. I've made this kind of bucketlists before, but I never succeeded in completing all of my goals. This time, I want to scratch at least one element every month from my list.

Here's a short overview of my bucketlist:

Write to a prisoner. I think it's really exciting, but also a little 'scary', to write to someone who's in prison. On the other side, I think it very satisfying to write to someone who's only distraction is to read your mail

Start a blog. Maybe this is one of the easiest things on my list to do, but the key is to keep on writing posts everyday. As this is my fifth post, I think I'm doing a good job :-) Writing about my life and my experiences helps me to stay calm

Bury a time capsule. It's something we see in movies and I always wanted to do this.

Attend a course of something that I'm really interested in

Do something good for nature. I've always been very concerned about nature and the environment, so this year I want to find an organisation or action that takes care of the nature.

Take a nude photoshoot. Since I have seen the images of the movie The Broken Circle Breakdown, I started to think about doing a (non-sexual) nude photoshoot myself

Send some fanmail to someone that I really stand in awe of

Do something good for humanity. I feel like the time is now to take some action and give someone a better life. I don't know yet how to achieve this goal, but I'm sure I'll be able to figure something out

Let myself been hand-fasted. Handfasting is a sort of Celtic wedding ceremony. I never wanted a big wedding in a church with a party afterwards, because it just doesn't make any sense to me. Last year I heard about this handfesting-thing and now I'm really interested in it

Attend a cosplay. I don't know when or where, but I think it must be so much fun to dress up like some character :-)

Bake cookies and bring them to an elder home. I think I should do this somewhere around Christmas time, as this is a very lonely period for these people

Meet someone that I know through postcrossing

Get myself painted like an album of Pink Floyd. I once saw this beautiful bodypaint showing an album cover of my favourite band.

Go skydiving. This is one thing that I always wanted to do and I feel like I need to do this now, before I'm older and maybe too scared to do it :-)

Get a tattoo

Learn how to windsurf. Since I was a little kid, I dreamed of living in Hawaii and go surfing every day.

While writing this list, I noticed that all of these goals are things that I 'always wanted to do'. The list is still open to suggestions, additions or changes :-) I'll add some posts about all of these goals later on my blog!
