Crew – Write a mission statement of the project goal that will be shared with your team.

Pizza is a popular food on a college campus and in Orono, there are three main options to choose from, Dominos, OHOP, or Pat’s Pizza. Our objective is to find out which one is most popular based on student interest. To get this information, we will need to interview workers at all three pizza places, as well as a number of students who are familiar and have had pizza from all three options. Interviewing workers will have a bias, but we might get interesting answers from them, who knows maybe a Domino’s worker likes Pats more? They might even have some criticism about how to make a good pizza. Although, a pizza professional will not be needed because we are simply recording peoples opinions about which place offers the best pizza.

I want to make this project because I think it would be cool to get an understanding on which pizza place is most popular on campus. I have had pizza from all three, Dominos, Pats, and OHOP, and I could go either way every time. Hearing other people’s personal favorite could be interesting. Another reason is I have a friend who works at OHOP and he has some opinions about working there, I wonder how he feels about the pizza itself, is it his favorite or does he prefer something else? A third reason I want to make this project is this question has been asked over and over again, does it truly have an answer? Everyone is different and has their own opinions so it would be interesting to see what the majority of people say is their favorite.

The whole team, Michael, Bobby, Kat, and Mathew, and myself, will be involved in the creation of this project. Each person will have their own roles to play as well. I will be filming, Bobby will be asking the questions for part of the interviews, Michael will be on audio, and Mathew and Kat will work with the post production editing. These names and places are just temporary, I am flexible for changing positions down later on.

This documentary will be made on the University campus. The majority of the student body travels through the campus throughout the day so it shouldn’t be hard to find kids who would be willing to offer their opinions.

For this to be successful, it will take a team effort. The stages of production include script writing and rehearsal, a couple days of shooting, and a day of editing. We should have enough time to complete this project by the deadline if we work efficiently and effectively.
