Week 6

This week we planned on filming our 'sunrise' shoot, but due to the hurricane storms we had to postpone it. However, we did schedule an interview with the Chair of Wilmington Ducks Unlimited, Chris Coleman. The interview went very well and Druscilla did an excellent job finding a suitable office location on campus within a few days notice.  I plan on editing together a rough cut of both Amelia and Chris’ interviews this weekend.

I plan on shooting some additional B-roll this coming week, if fair weather will permit us to do so. We will be filming our ‘sunrise’ shoot at Greenfield Lake Park, filming additional lake footage (and possibly kids feeding wild waterfowl) at Hugh McCrae park, and filming a retention pond in my neighborhood at Marsh Oaks.

We are also planning our road trip film shoot to Charlotte to interview Carolina Waterfowl Rescue. Druscilla has confirmed that our film date will be Friday, Oct 16^th. We will drive to Charlotte the night before and stay at Druscilla’s parents’ home in kind. Carolina Waterfowl Rescue is a larger organization and we believe they will add more depth to the narrative construction for this documentary without overriding the focus on Amelia Mason.

Another goal this week is to complete our Indiegogo campaign to begin raising the necessary funds for this documentary.
