Our goal for this week was to find three potential creatives for our final docuseries video. This was an important step as it can dictate how we as media makers can tell the story of the creative authentically and respectfully.  

 Our group had set up a google form to send out to Melbourne creatives, finding their work through instagram and reaching out through DM. The questions included information on who they were, their creative art form, their story, so we could get an idea of what the best story out of all the participants were. This google form gave us the advantage to reach outside of our immediate circle of people we knew, just like how production companies would find their stories. It also helped us get a glimpse of what the artist was about, helping us as media makers map out a potential story and vision of the visual aspect. 

We found it quite difficult as we aren’t an established production company we had no budget to work with or previous work to show for, reaching out to strangers was definitely intimidating, a lot of people that we did reach out to didn’t follow up because it was hard for them to trust us. Although the creatives that did respond back to us definitely had potential. 

In the end we were able to narrow it down to the best choices for us, with the constraints of time, convenience, communication, skill and logistics.
