5 – A SAFE & CREATIVE SPACE

We presented our Pitch & Proposals today in class for our PB3 and it was interesting to see how different all our ideas were. The many people that we have decided to focus on have been a vast cast of diverse and interesting areas to explore. For our group we have finally come with a working title “Confessions of a Confectioner” which focuses on the life of Terri and her work at Lolly Lovers Candy Shop. We want to highlight the joy and happiness she has in her life and that she spreads to others when they visit the store. Most importantly we want to just get to know her sweet soul and personality, and to spread positivity with our documentary.

Some of the main concerns we have going on is our limited time to interview her. At the moment we only have Friday’s to film her working at the store, and a half an hour window to interview her before she opens the store in the morning. So this means we have to streamline our interview session and hope that we get everything we need in the first sit-down session. To compensate for this I had an idea of doing some rolling interview with her mic’d up with a wireless lapel and us recording throughout her work day. At this stage it’s only a floating idea, but a back-up in case we need any more back-up footage.

Overall our pitch was a group success, and I am excited to see what we can create in the end. Next step actually filming the damn thing.
