Filming Schedule & Equipment

After preparing all of the necessary components, it’s finally time to being filming my project! I’m really excited to move to the next step and create something I can be proud of. 

As far as the schedule goes, I think I’ve got it all worked out.

Saturday: Film the interview and review to film all possible B-roll for the documentary

Sunday: Review the interview and find content that is good to use

Monday: Film B-roll of subject with friends

———————————————————————

Like all schedules I create, it is tentative and subject to change based on situations that may come up, but I am going to stick to this schedule as closely as possible to ensure the filming process runs smoothly and I can get all the necessary shots and footage for the piece. 

I am also going to need some equipment to film the documentary. I plan on using two tripods and two phones to film the interviews. This is so I can get different angles and make the interview more engaging to make up for the minimal B-roll the piece would have. I am using one tripod I own and I am borrowing the other from my teacher Mrs. Stoklosa. I am also going to use a ring light to get the most control and best lighting for my documentary so the interview is clear and well-lit. I am using the same one I used for my AS level portfolio project so I am very comfortable with how it works. My last documentary utilized small clip-on microphones and I am going to be using them again this time. Using them helps pick up the audio for the interview really well and makes sure that everything the subject, Tasha, says is heard. I also purchased an asexual pride flag for Tasha to keep that is going to act as part of the background for the interview. It will set the tone and make the theme more clear.

I’m excited to start filming my documentary and I hope everything runs smoothly!
