Arturo: Easy to find time to film, not quite sure what the documentary would be about.

UMMDT Admins: There’s enough people to probably find someone who could film, probably too controversial in some contexts.

IMRC: Easy to access and flexible time to film, probably not the most interesting topic considering the audience.

History of Downtown Bangor: Lots of background work, interesting subject, who would we interview?

FRC: Plenty of people to interview, weird niche subject, not really known to the rest of the group.

3D Printing: Plenty of on-campus resources, not hard to find interviewees, not particularly interesting.

Dating Apps: Interesting topic, nobody really of “authority” to interview, nothing really to talk about in particular.

Sleep Schedules: Same as above pretty much.

OHOP: Easy to find interviewees, relatable, not a whole lot to talk about.

Umami: Same as above, maybe a little harder with interviews.

Notre Dame Fire: Nobody to interview, pretty much over.

Mueller Report: Incredibly complicated, not much time to cover it.

Potholes: Accessable, easy to find someone on campus, currently has campus interest.

Mental Health: Accessable, easy to find someone on campus, less interest.


Crew:
We’re doing a documentary on the increasing number and destruction of potholes on the UMaine campus. We’re looking to interview somebody who is in-charge of on campus road maintenance as well as students on campus who have been affected by the potholes. We’re looking to make something that addresses a common student concern on campus, and potholes are a topic that is frequently brought up. I also have trouble parking in the Steam Plant lot as a commuter student with all of potholes in the way, so I’m hoping this video results in some sort of solution. This will be filmed throughout campus, grabbing good examples of the potholes in question and students alike.
