Planning

 Today I'm going to start asking the people that I've chosen if they'd like to be in my project as interviewees. I chose the topic of how people express themselves through their physical appearance because I care about my physical appearance and I enjoy decorating myself with clothes that I think are cool and lip products, jewelry, etc. So, I was kind of thinking about whether or not I want my project to include myself as the beginning subject of my documentary. I feel like it could be a cool idea to start off with the creator of the documentary and then transitioning to the people that the creator associates themselves with. Me being the creator of course. However, if I do choose to do this I'd already have to start filming b-roll of myself and I do have a few ideas for what I can do for my little appearance. Since the idea of my project is gonna be mostly attached to clothes, I think the fact that I have a job at Hollister can help out a lot. I want to get some shots of b-roll at Hollister and other clothing shops too. I'm at the sawgrass mall working on the weekends most of the time so getting ahold of this b-roll isn't going to be too hard for me. 

I feel like getting some b-roll of shopping at the mall with the interviewees is such a good idea and it'll be great for the b-roll that I want. The shopping b-roll will help emphasize to the audience what types of clothes interest each person and how that helps convey their personality through the clothes and accessories that they are interested at looking at and purchasing. I also know that I want to ask them for my interview questions, what their favorite pieces of clothing are, favorite make-up products, favorite accessories, etc. They'll explain why its their favorite. This will really add onto how they demonstrate their self through their appearance. I feel like the only problem standing in my way is my camera on my phone. It's like really bad. Whenever I try to record something on my phone it comes out really laggy and with the worst quality ever. So, I'm going to either buy a camera or look around my house to see if my family has any that I could use to film. Probably gonna do that first. I really want my documentary to look natural and raw, I don't really know how to explain it. I just want a lot of handheld shots, I don't want to use a tripod for the majority of my documentary. I think I'm only going to use a tripod for the interviews.
