Our group met thursday morning as usual and discussed some of the questions that we were asked by Lexi's group the night before. We are beginning to realise that our project is going to focus considerably more on Dr. Bennett than mentoring itself. This is actually good because I think i was getting a little to involved in explaining the history and process of mentoring when in actuallity there is no reason to do this. We also discussed the Proposal/Treatment assignment and split the Proposal amongst ourselves. We then met again this morning (Monday), pieced together our Proposal and discussed the Treatment and List of Possible Sequences. The Proposal came together nicely and we feel a little more comfortable about the Treatment now having discussed it further. We are currently trying to pinpoint our points of drama and come up with a solid structure for the film.
As far as my position in the group goes I think I am able to look at our project more from the outside as I am not an active church-goer nor do I necessarily consider myself Christian. While Matt and Travis have helped tremendously in building a story, making multiple contacts and keeping us on track I have found myself serving as a counter to any unintentional spiritual bias. We have proven to be a well rounded team and I am glad we are all able to bring such diverse ideas into the project. I think this is the right project for me as I hope to both promote all forms of mentoring as well as become more familiar with something that my predominantly Christian family can relate to. I think the level of importance our project reaches will be determined on how successful we are at showing the power and importance of mentoring relationships both globally as well as on a local scale (MMM).
