Production Process

 On November 17th we began and finished our filming process. As a group we set up cameras for the interviews based on where our subjects preferred to do the interview and began the process of interviewing. 

Apart from actually asking the questions we had written down, a lot of the interviewing process is getting our subjects comfortable. It was much easier because our interviewer was the granddaughter and daughter of our subjects, but there is still the explanation process of how the interviews work and overall getting them warmed up and comfortable to elicit the best responses. We had filmed a lot of content for the interviews themselves which was tedious to edit, but was great in the long run.

After conducting the interviews we began filming some b-roll. We referenced our planning sheet but we also came up with some ideas for b-roll on the spot. It was a shame that we were limited to such a small space in just the grandmother's house and it had already gotten dark outside by the time we completed the interviews. We were kind of forced to improvise and do the best with what we had which was good. The only thing was that when the grandmother was scrolling through her picture book she was not producing the best content and was not going in depth about what was happening in the picture because that is hard to remember and recall so easily.
