2/4

Howdy yall, Just got back from my first meeting with the guys from BingSpot.com and they are on board. I'm still trying to figure out how to document real life without making it formulaic: B-Roll, interview, action shot, interview, etc...

How do you do this!!!!! I've got to the documenting part and don't know how to do it. isn't that what making a documentary is?

turns out that's not it at all, but it's art of it.

Oh! I got my new mic today. It's a AudioTechnica AT875R. Woohoo!

I tried to map out the next few months for ZONA and BingSpot today, asked a bunch of general questions, took notes. etc. I've realized there is no path before me, I have run off the trail and now I need to make a bridge of concrete through this river of information. Right now I'm learning how to create the concrete.

I discovered a new way of interviewing today (at least for me). You make a list of questions you want to ask and label them Q1, Q2, etc. and when you're interviewing you don't have to ask them in order or even as separate questions, but if your subject addresses parts of Q3 whilst answering Q1, just make a little "Q3" mark above that note.

That's all for today, I need to study for a test because... I am in college...

Thanks for reading!
