Ball State University is known for its amazing Telecommunications program. With awards and state of the art facilities, students are allowed to learn in the best environments. Grove Lake, the Summer HD movie for 2007, was one way that students were able to use their skills and knowledge of the field to produce a feature film. In any major production there are always major and minor mistakes. In order to prevent future mistakes like the ones made during Grove Lake, this thesis clarifies the details of my experience and what I believe to be the strengths and weaknesses of this program. The final movie poster and examples of my work are included in the appendix.
