Movie documentary

Evening all - Fun class again. Hang onto that ridiculous head explosion footage. It'll be used for extra credit later in the semester (no, you didn't have to film in order to get the credit). Here's that final info.

To get you thinking:

· What do they do day-to-day?

· Where do they work?

· Where do they live?

· Why do they do what they do?

· What do they want to do?

· Are they happy? Why? Why not?

· What’s their favorite part of the day/week?

Suggestions:

Begin during Spring Break to get a head start.

Film them at work for an hour, at home once during dinner, once during breakfast, when they go to bed, during their commute, during their downtime.

Variety is key.

We’ll be watching a documentary this semester to give ideas and inspiration.
