Let me catch you up on what I've been up to since school started!

Hello all, I am back with another blog post here to tell you all about the big project I've been working on recently! I know I've been really busy and this should give you a slight glimpse at what all I've been working on since my Senior year started.

So when the year started I knew I wanted to do something related to history and international policy this year, and it took me a while but I have decided that I will be writing, filming, and producing a mini-series on YouTube that will be called: 'Cold War Cold Hard Facts'. Now as you can probably guess the premise of this show is to take the complicated events of the Cold War and break them down into less complicated, easy to remember bites. I will also be talking about popular films that cover those time frames and other ways to learn more. Now each episode will have its own ideas and will cover a different time and different situations that happened during the Cold War. I am currently working on finishing the scripts, which has taken me some time to do because of all the research I am doing and the sheer number of episodes I am writing. In total, there should be about 11 but that number may get larger as I write and see how long each episode is.

This project has been teaching me a lot about time management and how hard it is to write an entire miniseries by myself. It has also taught me a lot about the kind of preparation that goes into making any film production, especially what it is like to be the only one doing something. I have begun to plan how I will film the segment, don't worry that much is going to stay a secret I can't tell you all my tricks. I also have begun to work out editing schedules and when I want this project done by. I know it sounds really mundane,  but it is an important part of creating a video and especially this miniseries.

Now there is a big influence in why I decided to create this as my miniseries, my love for history and foreign policy. I am planning to go to college to major in International Studies and History and I've been wanting to create a project that gives me a chance to explore those fields through film and I think this project combines just that. I hope you all get a chance to see it once I have finished producing it, and I hope you enjoy watching it as much as I am enjoying writing it. See you all later!
