Producer for the Master Shot

For the Master Shot I plan to be organized and make sure that we have all the equipment we need for shooting. I will have make sure to get permission papers for actors we use in the master shot. I also plan to make calls and have the papers ready for certain areas that we shoot the film. I will pay for gas for the master shot. I will help the sound editor for editing the sound during the edits we make towards the film. I will also help with any other things that the film crew may need help with during the shoot. I will also may also get some food for the crew during the shoot. I will also help the director in organizing each shot and location for the shoot.

Vox Pops and Expert interview


The vox pops were at first very daunting at first but getting all the necessary paperwork and everything was not bad. Most people in downtown Wilmington were very amenable to us for the most part and were supportive of the Documentary.

The expert interview took about two hours to finish and was very insightful. The filming took about 30 minutes. It was awesome to have a person who was very knowledgeable about the subject to talk to us.  It was more difficult for us to film though because of lighting and having to cut out many parts to have it fit into the allotted time space of two minutes. 

Peer Review


Peer Review

Audra: Audra made her directions very clear for us to comprehend. She would help with group suggestions and allowing for her ideas and the groups ideas to come out during the production. Even though she had the final say in what she wanted the documentary to look like, she allowed us to give our own ideas of how it would look into the final project. She also helped with editing and did the interviews. 

Kateland: Kateland helped with ideas for the final documentary and even came up with the idea to have the documentary be about sandwiches based on her own employment at Subway. She helped with the questions and in editing with charting the markers for the video. She also helped in how the video would be structured.

Jonathan: Jonathan had done very well with sound and holding equipment during shooting such as the mike and the umbrella during a sunny day of shooting. Jonathan helped with editing the final cut by giving his opinions of what he felt made the film better. I feel that Jonathan wasn’t given enough to do but he made up for it by doing extra stuff.

Ryne: Ryne did a very good job in a position that he wasn’t particularly comfortable in. He got all paperwork made up for us to have the people we were interviewing sign. He also helped a lot in how he felt the film should look like during the editing process. He also found the expert interviewer and was able to call him on short notice.

Molly: I felt that I did a fairly good job with being Director of Photography. I was comfortable with the film process, since I had done it before but I wasn’t fully comfortable with the editing process. The rest of the group was able to help me and to make sure I was editing it the way Audra wanted it. I still spent the longest time editing, but at least I had the group to help me with the editing of the final film.
