Mind=Blown
So, I decided that I wanted to show 2 things that I feel are important in documentary filmmaking: Interview and Process. I have a former students who, though he has pursued other studies than theatre, has continued to use his skill as a Mentalist. I, being interested in this, asked if I could make this mini-doc about him. In connection with the assignment that I created for my students, I chose to film my B-roll of him doing his process of Mentalism with some random students at BYU. The interview wasn't supposed to change locations, but it rapidly became windy and we had to move inside. So to help in the transition I filmed him walking to different places. In putting together the interview footage and the B-roll I found that the later questions served better to introduce the subject, while the earlier question served better to finish things out. So the locations appear in reverse order from when we shot them. Generally the project turned out well,, but for some sound issues which I am still figuring out.
