I haven't really explained here what has been happening with the project itself. To give you quick rundown, what I'm helping to work on is a documentary on the history of Loudoun County Public Schools. It's not going to stretch all the way to 1870, when public school started in Loudoun County. Our timeline starts in 1911, when Middleburg School opened. Since Middleburg was turning 100 last year, we wanted to show how we've gotten from Middleburg and one room schoolhouses to today's two story, many-roomed school buildings. The project was supposed to finish up last year, but due to other projects that popped up, we were not able to finish it. That's why I'm back this summer.
My main job with the documentary is researching the history. This week, we are going to start interviews. During that time, I will be behind the camera, acting as a know-it-all on dates and events for LCPS if the interviewee needs help remembering something or gets a fact wrong. From there, we will start to be able to edit together a rough cut of the story we are trying to tell.
So that's what's been happening here lately! Even though the researching phase is pretty much over, posts will still come out. There's still plenty to write about.
Have a great day!
