What are you doing for a senior project? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

ThirteenInchEscape · 08-16-2004, 06:57 PM

about a million people go here, some of you must be seniors.

Does anyone here know what they are doing for a senior project? My friend and I kind of want to make a short film, he goes to a different school so I think we could both turn in the same short film.

I guess if you already graduated, telling us what you did could help.

I would also be interested on doing something about drug use, broken homes, dropping out of school or something, I go to an Alternative school, so I would have the best people to interview ever :P

i graduated last year and have no idea what you are talking about.

ThirteenInchEscape · 08-16-2004, 07:04 PM

some schools make you do a senior project thing where you do a presentation at the end of the year and it is required for graduation.

you do research or whatever then have to show a final product.

My stepsister, who is going into broadcasting, went to a WSU studio and did a fake telecast thing last year.

me too. my school is ghetto and nobody would graduate if a project was required

ThirteenInchEscape · 08-16-2004, 09:01 PM

it is a state requirement in washington after like next year

wolf paws · 08-16-2004, 09:32 PM

A lot of high schools require you to do a term paper as a requirement for graduation. At least where I went, and I think it's still a requirement.

We all had to do 48 hours of bloody community service. Ooooh, did that ever suck. Why do I want to help the community? The community can help themselves!!

Chambers · 08-16-2004, 09:55 PM

I had to do something like 96 hours of community service, but no project. That would have been fun.....I've always wanted to make a short film. In fact, I almost did for history class (just for fun - there was no assignment involved). It was going to be a parody of WWI - about this pidgeon that saved a small town in France (true story - I think the bird was called Cherie). Anyway, it was going to be a sort of political satire, but the actors wouldn't cooperate, and I didn't finish writing the script and we had no location or set.....so it never happened. Oh, and I didn't know who or what was going to play the damn bird....minor detail.

ThirteenInchEscape · 08-16-2004, 10:23 PM

well, my friend and I like really dark, gritty dramas, but my teachers are REALLY liberal, so they would be fine with whatever I made, the main problem would be that I think someone from the real school comes to watch the presentation.

I really struggle with things like this though, because when I do a project I never want it to just be something stupid, I like to really make it something worth doing.

I graduated last year.
We had to do a 18-20 page research paper on a topic related to macroeconomics. I chose supply-side economics and it's application in the past 4 administrations. We also had to give a 40 minute seminar on our research.

ThirteenInchEscape · 08-16-2004, 11:18 PM

Hollow · 08-16-2004, 11:22 PM
