Post Two - Research and Planning

 The research of the project was contingent on the topic, of course. I chose two of the most familiar students in the class to work on. We ended up collectively agreeing on the topic of students with part time jobs, which considering that two of the members of the group (me and another student), was not only a relevant topic but a pretty fruitful one with a lot of potential. 

Therefore, I guess our life experiences count as research somewhat? I mean, we knew how an average student with a part time job lived (or at least, how we and those around us like us live) and even in the process of making the documentary, we would further immerse ourselves in the topic that we have ourselves experienced countless times in our lives. So, I would say a decent part of the planning was just taking what we knew about life as a student with a part time job and conveying a story about that. 

Here are our interview questions:

These were our interview questions for just our subjects. We initially had planned an entirely different set of questions for a teacher but we realized the interview with that teacher altogether might have been something that detracted from the overall focus of the piece. We made the decision together not to even make the effort to get the interview, much less make more planning for it. 

There is more of our pre-production planning log. It was an outline of shots and we considered what B-Roll was most ideal during our planning for this.
