Blog Post/Reading Response #3

PROGRESS:

Basically the only thing that has happened since my last post was our pitch, which went very well. I felt confident going into the pitch, because we had a strong grasp on what we were planning on accoplishing with our documentary. Also, we had done some research beforehand, which translated to us sounding like we really knew what we were talking about (we actually did, but you know, it still sounded good). Overall, the pitch went well - we thoroughly presented our idea to the people, got some solid feedback, and gained some more confidence in the process.

READING RESPONSE:

The second I read the title, I immediately felt better about my group - we had already delved into some solid research about our topic, and it had already proved useful during the pitch. This piece provided valuble information about not just the fact that doing research is beneficial, but specifically what kind of research is good research. I think the "quantity vs. quality" section was very helpful and rang true - you can always have a lot of research, but how much of that research is actually going to help you move forward with your documentary and actually strengthen your message? The quality of the research is very important, and I think our group knows the difference between crappy research and quality reasearch.
