Planning First Filming Day!

 Planning First Day Filming!

So.... we have officially begun planning for filming! 

My sister and I have finally sat down and taken time to discuss how we want to structure/pace our documentary segment. We have chosen to make our 5 minute documentary portion on the first and the first five minutes of that episode. We have already a lot of inspiration from David Chang's first episode in his documentary Ugly Delicious, which can be seen in my previous blogs....

But this vague storyboard wasn't about doing more research, it was just about SITTING DOWN and DOING IT! Just talking with my sister helps us get ideas out of our system and onto the page, so that's what we did!

Here are the notes we ended up taking:

There was a lot of conversation about what we wanted that first segment to look like. The 2 minutes part that would establish the rest of the series for us. We have it narrowed down to one broad thing (structurally)

Depiction of how society is viewing/telling story of connection VS. our view/ approach to it in our community.

Here is the VERY BRIEF storyboard of it (diff scenes in each box)

A continuation of the breakdown of this idea:

- wanted juxtaposition in the way we told the two "narratives", 2 central broader perspectives/ approaches.

Thoughts/ Resolution:

This "meeting" with my sister has been really significant and helping genuinely picture realistic ways to tell our story. Sometimes I have a bigger idea of how something is in my head and it leads me to not do it. So talking out loud and confronting real ideas is a good motivator for me. Now with this storyboard, we are planning to, like our planner/filming agenda says, film later this week and next week. This is something I need to figure out because I am extremely busy coming up!
