Hi I'm Jacob and this is my first blog entry. I have worked at SMI before and have been editing videos for a while. I'm excited to be at SMI again even though I'm repeating a project that I did last year due to the fact that I am in the beginner group due to space limitations. I can't wait to finish working on my personal narrative project which I chose to write about Dana Park, a playground on magazine street that used to be the main park students used at the Cambridgeport school. I chose to make my movie about Dana Park because I used to spend a lot of time there and I experienced many memorable moments there with my friends and family. So far I have shot everything I needed, recorded the voice over, found archival photos, and begun editing and putting together the entire movie. I need to add music that I have created and I want to make sure this project turns out well because the playground I've chosen to write about means a lot to me. Later in the SMI program I want to make a really good final project but I'm not sure what I'd like to make it about. Last year I made a funny movie about Andrew Keplin, another worker at SMI and I hope this year I can make a movie that just as if not more awesome and awesome.
