Seven Questions Re-Done
Today I had to come up with an idea of my final product again due to some technical difficulties I faced while making the movie.
My research question remains the same: What kind of defense did the American soldiers face when they first stepped on the beaches of Normandy during D-Day?
This time I have chosen to make a board game.
I chose to make a board game because it will allow the player(s) to be the soldier and storm the beaches of Normandy.
The game will be on a big board that illustrates the environment of Normandy beach during the invasion. It will contain up to 5 soldier pieces in which the player(s) will control. The players will move on a designated path and draw cards that will decide their game play experience.
By making a board game I will gain knowledge and mastery of my subject. I can justify this because the cards involved in the game will contain information about the invasion and I would first need to know that information.
I have made a task breakdown of making the board game.
The first task is to gather the materials need to make the game: Army men, board, cards, markers, paper, dice, etc.
Then I can meet with my partner and start work on the actual game board.
After that we can make the cards then finish the game.
My next actions for making this game are to plan out the questions for the cards.

Status Report
So far I have started filming the actual movie . We finished filming about 1min into the movie.
I still have plenty to do for the movie. I still have to finish filming it and eventually editting it.
Filming the movie itself is a lot harder than I thought. It tooks us about a couple of hours to film the first 1min of the movie.
What has been a lot easier than I thought are making the Index Cards. Im already about 2/3 complete.
If I could start over again I would film my movie over a different topic such as the Pacific Front. This is because the D-Day topic is overused by many other students.
Before spring break I need to finish my index cards and finish filming the first half of the movie.
