We have planned our production out and we are thinking out our editing patterns. I think we have a good pre production focusing on most of our general shots and the main idea of what we want to accomplish. I know documentary planning is very difficult as you can’t follow an exact script of what your interviewee is going to say, but I think our outline really has helped us for the better as it gave us a clear view of what we want to focus on when it comes to editing. We set a date to meet out interviewee and begun to check out all of our equipment too. We rented it out for a day and had two cameras, two microphones, a three point lighting kit, tripods, and extra lighting tools to help us achieve the lighting that we wanted.
Additionally we begun making all of our questions. We wanted to make a point to not be too personal with our subject as he was a rather closed off and secluded guy, so we didn’t want to scare him into his shell when communicating with us, so we made sure our questions were very light and easy for him to answer. We also began to plan out which group members would do what! I would be manning the cameras and helping set up on the day of actual filming. I would also be getting all the background noise and music for the editing process. My other group members would be editing the bulk of the production and getting the equipment. I think that planning our whole production out the most detailed we could possibly do really organized our process and helped us have a clear mind of what we wanted to accomplish and how we would do it all. I still think we could have planned the editing process out a little more to give us a more detailed path onto the structure of our production to fully communicate our message.
I am really excited to see this whole process and how it all turns out! Below is all of our production planning and shots that we have organized and written out!
