Blog Post and Reading Response #4

My group honestly hasn't accomplished so much since my last blog entry. We've created a timeline with which we are to strictly stick to. I think we can. Our documentary was originally set to monogamy. It has now been changed to love in general and how people communicate this to each other. I think that even though this is a rather vague idea we can turn it into something specific in the end. We'll find a specific question to answer about love. I believe "How do people communicate there love for each other?", would be a great question. It's a cute idea.
The week's reading was from a book by Michael Rabiger. Interviewing is apparently the core of a documentary. There seems to be no story with out it. In interviewing the subjects thoughts and feelings must be there. You need to get close to them and help them be comfortable so as to share all they have. Look over your questions, but don't read them off like a survey to the person being interviewed. Help calm their on-camera nerves by conducting the interview like a normal conversation. Make sure sound is good before any of this takes place.
