Change in plans
My personal project had to be changed slightly, instead of a rock climbing documentary it turned out to be more of a survival, camping type thing. This happened because we couldn't get to a place where we could actually do some climbing. We did end up going to Emily's family's land up in Birdsall New York. What we did was we went up and we filmed Emily talking about different survival tips. For example she started a fire and talking about at least 2 difrferent methods of how to do that. Then she talked about shelters which she also said more than one way to make one. In colder climates where there is snow, Emily talked about how to boil the snow to make it water and how it would be safe to drink.

Quick Update
I've been working on research for this trip the past couple of days. I want to be prepared for the trip especially since next weekend me and Emily are going to the store to get some supplies. I know that we will need to get very warm clothes and wear lots of layers.
Also i have been doing a lot of thinking about how I'm going to put this whole thing together. I want to get some video of Emily talking about getting ready for the trip and her thoughts about it. I need to take a lot of pictures of our journey and also of us getting ready for it. During the actual climbing ill take pictures of videos. When i go and edit everything together i am hoping that it comes out great. I'm so excited.

Update:)
Since my last update i have continued top talk to my aunt about this project. She told me about a store that sells really good camping and hiking equipment. She said that she would be more than happy to bring me and emily there to look around, so we are planning on doing that really soon.
I havent found anyone to talk to about photography with other than my aunt. Emily actually told me about someone but i have yet to get him email and emial him. I also know that emily has some photographers in her family as well so i think that they would be a good idea to talk to them. We might be able to borrow some good quality cameras from them as well as get some tips, especially with lighting because its gonna get dark.
Emily and i are in the process of planning our trip. We think we should do it pretty soon because of time. I, myself am becoming very anxious about the project. I want to have enough time for the trip and still have enough time to do a good job on my documentary.
more upset coming soon:)

beginning/ideas
For my personal project i have decided to do a documentary. My documentary will be about the experience and struggles of climbing a mountain. I will be going to the Catskill Mountains to film my friends journey. I've always been interested in photography and that's why i decided to do this for my project. I wanted to do something that i will enjoy and something that I'm interested in. A big part of the project is to come out of your comfort zone. Even though the purpose of my project is not to climb the mountain, i will still have to do it and that will defiantly take me out of my comfort zone.
Along with the struggles and the experience of climbing a mountain i will also be talking about all the equipment that you would need to take on the task. For example, you need certain footwear and clothing. As the photographer i will those things as well as camera's and things to protect the camera because you never know what the weather conditions will be like. Speaking of weather conditions we will need to research the weather up in the Catskills.
Throughout my experience i will be documenting all my ideas and talking about all the steps so that we can be safe on our trip.
