Documentary Project #2 Planning

 Heyyyyy! So onto the actual planning of my documentary. My friend Audrey, who was a part of my team for this project, and I were in a musical called Fiddler on The Roof. I honestly think this experience is what inspired us the most. During this production we worked with people ages 76 to 2 years old and we realized that the intergenerational aspect of the production is what made it feel like a real community. 


Because of this experience, we decided to base our documentary off the concept of intergenerational activities/productions, getting different perspectives from people of different generations who were in this production and have participated in intergenerational productions in the past. More specifically, the goal was to get an inside look at the subjects personal experiences with these productions, and what the experience has taught them. 

We began by coming up with specific questions to ask each of them, during this process we decided it'd be best to give each of them a different set of questions to elicit varied responses and planning the different shots and angles we wanted to get. We also decided it would be best to get b-roll directly from the show.

We decided to contact Lito Becerra (54) and Brandon Jerry (18) both of whom have previously been a part of multiple intergenerational productions. Luckily, arranging a time and place to meet up was easy as we all had decently clear schedules. Now all that was left to do was film.
