describe the progress you've made this semester on your genius hour project.
During this semester I've been able to to watch different kinds of movies, such as McFarland U.S.A. While watching a movie, I took notes to analyze the movie. A couple of things I noted about each movie was: The quality, the acting, the storyline, and the meaning. so far I've watched about 3 to 5 movies and were able to rate them by stars, 5 being the highest and 1 being the lowest. Since I work at the movies, I can ask people how that movie was. If they tell me it was a great movie, then I can tell how good that movie was. I also pay attention to the audiences reaction to the movie. So this semester my progress was making notes on what movies I've watched and how people respond to the movie.
What is the most challenging aspect of your prject so far?
The most challenging aspect of my project is find the time to watch movies. With school, sports, and work I have limited time to sit down and watch a movie and take notes. One thing that helps me is when I work I can go and watch bits of movies. Also, I can examine the movie watchers. I would like to watch a movie wit some friends so I can take notes and examine my friends and their reactions to the movie. It's hard to find the time to do that with my friends as well, because they have their own schedules and so do I. So basically finding the time to really sit down and watch a movie is the most challenging aspect of my project.
