The primary roles of the group was Marion was the director who decided what questions to ask and the overall direction of the film. The roles of Brody, Kyle and Jake was to interview and be cameramen. My role was supplying the camera equipment and editing.
No one was contacted because this type of documentary didn’t need anyone official. Various students from UMaine were interviewed for the video. No research was put into the making of this documentary since it’s direction was to listen to the voices of students. The b roll included various shots of the campus
Constructing the video included matching the audio channels with the video files and then once that was completed, I had to match up the questions said to various students for various questions.
During editing there weren’t too many changes from first rough cut to the final cut. The main changes included improving audio levels, adding credits and cleaning up some cuts.
Yes the objectives of the production fulfilled by the end of the final product. The experience could have been better by having a more personal subject, possibly on one person so the audience could connect more.
