The documentary process is going pretty smoothly so far.  I'm becoming more proficient in Adobe Premiere (the video making program I am using), and starting to get an outline of what will be in the documentary.  I have gathered most of my sources, and most of the footage that I wanted to film, however there are still a couple more things I'd like to do.  Through research I have learned more about my community's biggest problem, which is the high tuition cost that is still rising every year.  I've learned why this is happening and also how it affects some students.  The biggest challenge for me so far is incorporating sources into the video that will provide evidence for my argument.  I have never done a project like this, so another difficulty was getting used to the program, and figuring out how to do what I want.  YouTube tutorials helped me a lot through this process.  One thing that's been fairly good so far is that there is a lot of source material for what I am doing my documentary over.  The problem in my community is a problem that college campuses all over the campus are facing.  This helps strengthen my argument, and gives me confidence that this is a big issue, and it needs to be fixed.
