This week was really good for my group in regards to our actors! As you most likely know, our film covers three age groups of women: teenagers, mothers, and grandmothers. This weekend, we were able to secure a meeting with our teenage subjects and our teenage actors at Lucky Joe Coffee.
Before our meeting, we arranged to film a good chunk of our b-roll due in a few weeks on Saturday morning. We all met up at New Hanover High School and got b-roll of the school in relation to the teenager scenes. My group also determined at our meeting that week that we wanted to use crowd sourcing for some of our b-roll for our film. So with the combination of our b-roll at New Hanover High School and crowd sourcing, we feel confident that we have our b-roll covered.
During our meeting with our actors and subjects at the coffee shop, we met with the subject of our documentary first. She helped us secure an interview location (her house), and friends to talk to (our other subjects) and we developed a relationship with her where she feels comfortable with us. We left our teenage actors feeling the same way: excited to be a part of our project and comfortable working with us after having our meeting. We did a read through of the script and discussed the scene and their roles in it. Overall, it was a very successful meeting. We left them with the video/audio release forms so their parents could fill them out (because they are under 18).
