Seeds of Struggle
Fresno trip: • What went well?

Angel: Turned out nice

Anka: Worked out with three cars & coordination

Jabari: Went very well though not meticulously planned, still efficient and productive

Dennis: Haven't seen the footage but it seems like we got enough coverage

Liz: A bit chaotic, but we pulled it together. Good on accomodations and snacks. Great documentation

Gerald:

Dragon: Good job for a first trip, good learning

• Where can we improve?

Angel: Whenever we go out to shoot, we should have a sound recorder ready to go in case our interviewee starts saying interesting stuff before the camera crew is ready

Anka: should have talked more about the shoot itself, communication

Jabari: no complaints, we did well with what we had

Dennis: Important for us all to be on the same page before a shoot, no more last-minute stuff

Liz: Would have liked better meals, food planning and preparation

Gerald: "Fail to plan; plan to fail." Be flexible, but still have a plan.

Dragon: Better planning ahead of time about the purpose and elements of the shoot, better food accomodations

• Plan another shoot? He invited us back for the harvest.

Or we can send a camera with him so he can gather footage himself! Gerald volunteers to train him on the Sony Handycam.

• Review dailies

Intvw. with Wanda Stewart: Dragon, Dennis, Jabari, Noemie, Stephen 2 hour interview at her home, really good stuff in there. Didn't get b-roll! Working the garden, harvesting herbs, gathering eggs, etc. Plan another shoot

• Where can we improve?

Use a stand for light reflector
