Week 11

This week we originally had two film shoots scheduled, but all of the FS100 cameras were already checked out of the equipment room and we had to postpone them to the weekend of November 20th.

I met with our editor Luqi and we completed color corrections of all of the b-roll I will be using so far. I also completed an 'rough' rough cut of Waterfowl(ed). Right now, the film is at an 18 minute run-time. Amelia has so much to say and it will be difficult to cut out a lot of her input without addressing the issues I wish to focus on. I still wish to include a veterinarian for the film to provide an alternate view, but I'm not sure if it is necessary.

Again, I definitely need to obtain more diverse b-roll to incorporate into Amelia's interview. I also collected many photos from both SkyWatch and Carolina Waterfowl Rescue for waterfowl injured by fishing lines, volunteers, and oil spills.  I believe this archive photos will provide the audience with a realistic view of what these organization deal with everyday without exploiting injured wildlife on film.

I believe the most difficult task I have to face now if condensing my film into a 15 minute cut without losing vital information needed to provide the audience with adequate knowledge on how to prevent harming waterfowl.
