Final Project: a video diary

OK, who has seen Avatar??
I was thinking about the documentary style final project. Most of the documentary could be done in video diary format. This is where Avatar fits in. If you have seen the movie that you probably remember how the main character, acting as a scientist, makes note of his observations in video format. He sits in front of his computer camera and just talks. We could basically do the same thing as we show what we are finding with this "New-Found Shakespeare play". It would be easy to say something like "This passage sounds like Act. 2 sc. 2 of such and such play, also by Shakespeare." We could also have quick little check-in's during the creative phase in this style where we say something like, "today I started drawing the story board for Act 3" or "today we started to collaborate on the soundtrack for the fight scene."

It is a really easy way to do filming. It doesn't need to be polished or edited very much because it is in diary format. Of course when it came down to the trailer part at the end of the documentary then we would need someone to make a really polished film to make it look like a real movie trailer, but this would alleviate some of the work for the earlier part of the documentary. And I think it would make it look more realistic and believable. And it fits right in with the documentary idea.
What do you think? Do you like this idea? Is there something that you would like to do that I haven't mentioned, but you would like to fit in the final project?
