Week 1

The first week at the VBC was all about getting to know the people and the place that we are going to spend the majority of our time with this semester. The mansion is really old and neat and the people seem like people I would actually hang out with in my normal life. Our instructor for the class, Jen, seems fun and cusses a lot which leads me to think this will be a fun and more laid back semester than I have had in the past.

This week we also split into what Jen calls, Micro groups. These are many smaller groups that had specific tasks to complete so we could figure out the direction of our project. I volunteered to be a part of the task squad assigned to watch previously made documentaries for ideas about our own. We watched two that were made by students at the VBC. They were okay but I think that we can do way better.

For reading this week, we had a couple packets and two chapters in our books. These are boring but I think it will be very helpful to know what exactly we will be making a documentary on.
