1. Over break I was organizing all of the everything that I would need for The Fullerton Festival Documentary I will be filming. This includes a rough script, questions I will ask, who I need to talk to, researching the festival, a rough shooting schedule and figuring a cohesive story to tie the documentary together.
I also started a new script that I'm very excited about and though I'm not entirely sure that I can film it this year, because the film would be heavily reliant on music and music is hard to obtain the rights to and even when you do it's ridiculously expensive. Though the script will be finished this year.
2. The most important thing I learned from working on my project over break is how much work really goes into pre-production, especially for a documentary because a lot of things only happen on camera once.
3. Hypothetically I would really love to Griffin Hammond who did a short documentary about Sriracha. He's not famous and encourages people to ask about his documentary so maybe I can have a phone call with him. I would probably ask him about the proper amount of B-roll, story, interviews and nat sound breaks. If I cant get Mr. Hammond I will ask my mentor if he knows anyone who has worked with documentaries.
