Last week we focused on talking about the editing process and working on scheduling new interviews and working around our 3 busy schedules.
This week we filmed Felix and Kristi on Monday morning, and are discussing more editing as well. We have run into a problem and will probably nix the first two interviews because of the style mismatch. The style is something that I am really going for and want to keep, so I will probably go ahead and just use sound from the Hal and Zeb's interviews. Jumping the gun and filming really early has proved to be a double edged sword because we have learned what we like, but we also got good interviews that we probably won't use based on the the style.

This past week
This week we worked on the budget, scheduling, and the presentation.
We also interviewed Jonathan from Trader Joe's on Monday, and it was the best interview so far. He spoke about his daughter quite a bit and I realized that this is what really sparked emotion in him, so I tried to stay on this topic for a good majority of the interview. There was an awesome moment where he teared up and Aly was able to bump in on a really great close up of this.
Surprisingly, considering our interviews have only consisted of men so far, our film has a feminist approach. This is why this film, while a documentary, is extremely experimental because we did not plan for our interviews to be in any way feminist, but they have been so far, so that may be something we consider in post.
In terms of this week, we are looking to film on Thursday and Friday nights. This, if all works out, should get us 4-6 interviews, which will put us at a total of 7-9. That's a really good number to work with. From there, we can determine the meat of the film and then schedule additional shoots to help our film and really bookend it well. I want to get a good part of the edit done in March, so that we really have time to work with music and so forth.
