RMS:  We’ve decided on what our story is about and even determined what teachers we want to have in the film.   The students were charged with talking to the teachers to see if they would participate.    In the past, it hasn’t been easy getting teachers to spend time with us, but we have a couple that will help all the time.   Our story revolves around peer pressure and three students get caught and put in ISS!   They each tell their stories on how they were caught.    The catch is a spooky  surprise!   Can’t wait to see how it turns out.    Will continue working on the script and assigning acting roles the week of 9/29/08.

DCMS: The script is done and we walked through it twice during the club meeting.    Everyone knows their roles and was given a script to take home.   We won’t meet the week of 9/29 because of early release, so we start filming the next week!    I’ll post the script online in case someone lost theirs!

This week has been a pretty good week for planning our first films at both RMS and DCMS.    I have 3 more students at RMS so we’re up to 6 there.   At DCMS after two weeks we average about 14 students.    Everything is looking good to get started filming.    

At RMS we decided on a film on Peer Pressure.    The challenge is that the students wanted a little thrill to it so we are going to be challenged with a different style of “creepy” without getting “cheezy”.  :)    We’ll see how it goes.

At DCMS were are focused on Honesty.     Taking a different approach we’re trying to accomplish a little bit of detective mystery to the plan.    We have a story line and even a list of characters so we’ll be working on the script this week and possibly filming next week!  

If there is anyone that wants to join the club they can just show up!

I figured some things out with the new middle school opening up.    If we don’t put up a poster about the club in the school, noone knows what’s going on.    I put one up in DCMS and ended up with 18 students showing up to the first club meeting.     No poster at RMS, 3 students.    So I went back and put one up at RMS.   We’ll see how we do on week 2.     I’m looking for movie ideas that won’t be so difficult to write a script around.     Doing DSF in multiple schools will be challenging, but we’ll make it work!

Hey everyone.   I’m going to try to update this blog this year for everything going on with DSF!   Look for updates here!    http://blog.dawsonstudentfilms.com/dsfblog
