After washing my hands of getting further interviews for my documentary, I moved on to capturing b-roll vision. This consists of day and night shots of the area.
The night-time b-roll is lovely and I’m looking forward to putting it all together though, I would definitely benefit from having a second opinion on the storyboard as I’ve just been ruminating as if my project was on the meaning of life or something!
While I was shooting last night, serendipity would come my way. On the Chapel St and Toorak Rd intersection, a woman approached me and asked if I had dropped some money. She revealed two $50 dollar notes and asked if the $100 was mine. I replied, “No, it’s yours now”. However, she insisted that we split the finings and on that, she handed me $50 dollars, smiled and walked into the sunset. . . well, the sun had already set but that’s what it felt like!
How do I leave room for serendipity like this? By just keep shooting b-roll?
Maybe.
