WISE Journal first entry

I got the idea to make a documentary film based on competitive food eating one day while I was watching TV. I was on the food channel and there was a commercial for a local hot dot eating competition. This immediately sparked my interest and after much deliberation, I decided that I wanted to do this for my WISE presentation. While I do not have any passion on food eating, I do have a film making passion and my idea to make a documentary was finally grounded after I decided my topic. I considered internships at Public Relations firms, or a documentary on today's health care. I chose my topic because I thought it was original and would be exciting to create. Out of this project I wish to obtain a well filmed and edited close to 10 minute documentary. I also really wish that I could host a mock food eating competition here at South. My goals are to learn the nutritional science behind a food over-consumer and I also hope to gain a better understanding of the film-making industry. I would like to know: "is over consuming food really worth everything in the end?"
