Last weekend I filmed my first interviewee! I got some really good footage and was able to experiment with various questions and camera positions. My interviewee discussed her activism regarding the Vietnam War, and what was really cool is that she still had various items from those days that she showed to me.
I've finally decided that I'm going to be shooting the documentary on my iPhone 8. Originally I was going to film on my Nikon DSLR, but for some reason it isn't compatible with outside audio equipment and it's built-in mic isn't the greatest. So, I'm using the audio equipment Vicky lent me and will be using that from now on. Until a few days ago, I apparently was missing a connector cord (so, I wasn't able to use good mics when recording my interviewee -- it's okay though). I purchased the chord and am now running audio practice tests. My script is going well, it's mostly just discussing the background of the topics. Once I actually have interviewees on tape then I can continue to write more. Working with video production is also going well! It's mostly just trial and error, but I'm having a fun time.
