This week we went back to the Robert Weaver neighborhood. We were able to start and finish filming for our documentary. The next step in our project process is to begin editing in order to put together the final documentary for public viewing. We were able to get some really good footage of Mrs. Ross who had so many interesting stories since she's lived in the same house for 46 years! We also were able to get footage from Mr. Owens and Mrs. Renteria. Although we weren't able to speak to the renters as we originally wanted to, (they didn't want to be involved) we're really excited about the footage we did get. I've really enjoyed getting to know the residents and listening to what they had to say. I think overall our project has gone really well so far and will continue to do so.

It must be so excited to start on this project! I bet you all got some good footage and I am really excited to see the final documentary!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the documentary!
ReplyDeleteI have been trying to get in contact with the Rosales family but no luck. Vanessa and I however, visited the community today and got more great footage to finalize everything. It's been a pleasure working with you thus far and I can't wait to begin editing!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, LOVE the quote from Steven Spielberg! :)
Bianca and I talked about that on Monday. I don't think they want to be interviewed lol. We have some good footage of other families though!
