Today me and my group had a pitch presentation about the documentary film we are going to make. I’m working on this project with Samuel and Camilla. We are making a 4 min documentary on the iconic American donut Kitchen van located at Queen Victoria market. This van has been there since 1950. In this documentary we are going to explore the history and legacy of this business and also their plans for future.
After doing a bit of research we found out the original business owner has passed away, and the business has been running by remaining family members. We got in contact with Belinda the grand daughter of the original owner Arnold, and told her about our project, she was a kind lady and agreed to us making a documentary about their business.
We started to work on our questions for the interview. At the start me and Samuel were struggling to come up with questions, we asked Rohan for help. He suggested we do a mock up interview and design the question in a way that would get us the expected answer, without offending the interviewee or making them uncomfortable. This practice helped us come up with questions for our interview, another awesome lesson.
