This week I spent some time gathering B roll footage for my documentary film and documenting this as well as collecting location and talent release forms. One of the biggest challenges that I faced was trying to find the role that was relevant. My idea is that I want to include a couple of pictures and videos of people smiling and laughing and being sad and the and then I want to do an overlay of a water drop to visually symbolize going under the surface and digging deeper. So I was able to find footage that showed people smiling and pondering and I was also able to find the perfect waterdrop clip that will work for my overlay. All of the footage I found is in 4K so that I can manipulate the framing which is something we learned in class.
I was also supposed to get my location agreements and talent agreements signed this week. This was challenging because for one of my interviewees I have not filmed any footage with him and he felt like it was odd for me to ask him to fill out an agreement form before we had met to film. For Franco ice did not get the talent release forms for his wife and child signed because of the same issue. For both of these groups I will be bringing talent release forms and having them sign them when I film them to capture B roll.
I am planning on shooting Jason Rennaker's interview this week on Thursday afternoon I will not be able to film anything this weekend because my wife's great grandmother died so we're going to a funeral in Utah which is going to cause some issues with my schedule however I think I will be able to catch up just fine.
