My project will focus on Martin Scorsese. I am a fan of his films. I will focus my project on four specific films; Gangs of New York, The Wolf of Wall Street, Shutter Island, and The Departed.
My plan is to have this project become a Podcast where I would talk about the Plot/Themes/ common aspects of Scorsese’s films.
The software I plan to use would be audacity to create the podcast, as we all have a bit of familiarity with it from one of our previous projects. I think focusing on Audacity will allow me to get a better handle on voice software; I am up in the air about making a slightly long video presentation. However I am not comfortable enough with keynote to use it. I have plans for a video project in my head but I don’t know if I can actually create it.
My plans for my project either Podcast or Video will require some background research on Scorsese and watching the videos a few times.
The background research will focus on reviews on Scorsese’s films and his common styles of directing. Raw materials will further include using a variety of youtube clips and probably a song or two in the background.
The audience for my project will be general public/ people who might not have seen the films.
For my project I would also include written blurbs on my blog about each movie and about Martin Scorsese.
The breakdown of the podcasts will be: First podcast includes a short introduction of myself followed by a summary of Martin Scorsese based on prior research and then a summary of the plot. From this point, I would find several specific scenes to review and I would focus on themes and trends of scorsese’s films.
The other three podcasts would focus on each movie but relate to the previous movies. The last podcast would probably be the longest and have a small overlap with the other podcasts. The reason I plan to have it this way is to make sure that my audience will be able to easily follow along based off the first podcast episode and can still benefit from any individual podcast.
The Keynote project, which is a maybe and a plan B would involve all for films broken down into 1 involved video project. This has the potential to be more focused but the risk is in my knowledge and comfort with keynote software.

Dhruv, as we noted in our peer review of your project, I think what you’ll need is a strong focus as you begin to deal with these very interesting (but very capacious films). Are there specific themes you want to touch on or something that would help you narrow your scope (after all, it’s a long way from The Departed in Boston in the 21st century to Gangs in NY in the 19th century. It’s a tall order to talk exhaustively about all of these films (especially if you do decide to include the other two films post-Gangs that aren’t in this list, Aviator and Hugo). I think that might help make the project feel much more manageable as well as more tightly structured. I look forward to seeing what you end up producing.
