Production Part 2

As i discussed earlier i am having problems with getting the video done due to outside conflicts and things going wrong. I cant get the people i wanted to get to tape because of their scheduals and mine and their works wont let me tape them.

So as of right now im going to do a few interview with those i know i can talk to and then go through and add soem b-roll to the interviews about what they are talking about so tis going to more of an interview process rather than a documentary. By next week i should have a sample of the interview and some of the b-roll i am going to do....

Any suggestions on what all i should include since i am having problems getting everything i wanted?

I would encourage you to not deviate from your "ambient" piece. There is nothing wrong with a documentary, but you already have some footage from the 7th. Try working with it to create the "feeling" of one moment in a Mother's day. Think about timing, spacing, pacing, and color correction to get your point across. You don't need to shoot any more--I'm sure you have quite a bit from the children. Think about how you can use this footage to show, Mom's point of view juxtaposed with the outsider's point of view... quality over quantity. As discussed, this class is about the production process. It's not about the end product (it's about weekly reviews and progress). Getting a final project completed is just the cherry on the top of the ice cream.
