Research.

Sooo I have been doing more research for our project lately and these are a few of the URL's i didn't want to lose track of. I think we can get a lot of good information from these sites when we meet tomorrow.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2009/nov/16/truman-capote-in-cold-blood

There are a lot of great picture on those sites from the murders that we could potentially use as well.

Also, I spent some time going through the movie and picking out the clips that i think we could include in out presentation. I thought that most  important scenes that we needed to show were:
1. Introducing Trueman, just showing his personality etc.
we can find all of that from 3:08 until 4:52

2. We need to introduce the criminals to help give background to the case Trueman is looking into an writing about. I thought that the movie presented this in a good way right from the start so i think we should just start where they did at 27:17 until 31:44.

3. We should also show the details of the crime. The interview in the jail does a good job of this at 1:19:40 until 1:28:00.

4. Lastly I think it might be good to show the hanging. This is at 1:39:26 until 1:46:48.

Just let me know what you guys think or if there was any other clips that you thought would be important to add in. I have the movie but I will bring it with me tomorrow in case you guys need to use it at all.

See you both tomorrow at 4:50 for our meeting with Dr. Cooper. Hope you guys had a great Thanksgiving!

Powerpointin

Last night I put together a powerpoint to go along with our blog. We have a lot of great cartoons in it. In the spirit of Halloween, we decided to focus on how the media has been framing immigration stories in a way that promotes fear. The Conservatives and the Liberals all have different fear in regards to immigration policies and media outlets often take advantage of those fears and build them up.
