It has been hectic the past couple weeks for me, and I think that my group feels the same way. A lot of test and quizzes have been laid on my lap, so I was very busy this week and wasn’t able to get much done for the project. It turns out that the rest of the group was pretty busy too, so we didn’t end up going to Macie’s place this week. We will take advantage of next week’s class time to go and visit Macie’s place. We plan on taking a lot of pictures there and do some interviews. We are slowly, but surely, narrowing our project focus. I am a lot more open next week, so I think it will not only be a productive week for me for the project, but for the group as a whole. We have a lot of things laid out next week for the project focus. With fall break coming up in a couple weeks, the group is planning most of our work for the time off school. This will allow us to focus mainly on the project and eliminate any outside distractions that would be happening otherwise. I’m looking forward to what we will accomplish the next two weeks.

This week we presented our project ideas to our fellow classmates and also a few professors. The presentation went well, and we got plenty of good feed back on our ideas. Our group sees a lot of possibilities with each idea. They all have positives, and also some glaring negatives to them. We believe we have it narrowed down to two different ideas, and a game plan is developing on the go for us. Our favorites are the Market to Market relay race, and Macie’s Place. These two are the most convenient as ReRuns is in Omaha which would be a hassle to have to travel to when we need photos, video, etc. The Iceberg agency’s plan is to take on the Market to Market idea head on, as the date for that event is coming up on October 6th. We will attend the event, get as many videos, photos, and interviews done as we can. After the event, if we decide we don’t have a good angle, or enough content for the event, then we will switch up and go with Macie’s place. With all of October, and November to work on it, we think that is plenty of time.

This week our group, The Iceberg Agency, brainstormed ideas for our project we will pursue this semester. We came up with a few ideas that involved charities, animals, and a fun run that is in Nebraska. My idea to the group was the annual Market to Market run. This is a team relay containing 8 different team members that run from the Old Market in Omaha to the Haymarket in Lincoln. My assignment is to research more about the Market to Market relay race and provide the details to my group. Our team is meeting next Monday to put together a PowerPoint for class. The PowerPoint will contain a few of our ideas for our interactive project we will be working on throughout the semester. We will present this PowerPoint in class in hopes that our peers will provide positive feedback and give us an idea of what project we should pursue. Hopefully by this time next week we will have a good idea of what we want our project to be about.
