After looking over the soundbites from the other day I noticed that some of them are a lot darker than others. The footages looks just alright. I shot a lot of it the wrong way, I probably won't use all the video.
In much brighter news, I liked what the couple said, so regardless I probably will use their voice under some type of band b-roll or some sort of edit.
I'm producing this documentary in the midst of the situation so I have to figure out how to make it all relevant to my goal, getting a opportunity for local artists.
Local artists can bring entertainment to the halftime show if it were orchestrated correctly. The circumstances for the band surrounding the Robert Champion death is getting out of hand and most people think that the band will not be suspended during homecoming. So this is my next focused question to ask all of the interviewees. "How do you think Homecoming 2012 will be without the Marching 100?" "Will you be there to witness if the band is not present?"

1st interviews logged
I finished logging the interviews from Sherri and Royall for this new documentary yesterday. The footage looks pretty solid, although there's some footage that I may get rid of just because of lighting conflicts.
With that said I plan to continue interviewing the FAMU community whether it's local artists, faculty, students, family, etc.. Tomorrow I plan on interviewing a couple of local artists about the possibility of performing at halftime..
We all know nothing can replace the Marching 100, but it would be nice to see if the local artists in Tallahassee can come together in an attempt to entertain the FAMU fans at halftime.
It's like kinda like when Michael Jordan left Chicago we knew know one would be able to replace him. But the Bulls selecting Derrick Rose has put them back in the conversation for a championship.
That's a bad metaphor but you get what I'm trying to say!

First Soundbites Completed
Today I talked to some of the students at FAMU School of Journalism and Graphic Communication about the potential of the Marching 100 being suspended throughout the 2012 football season.
Some students have concerns and some think...well I will tell you what they think when the documentary is done.
One thing that was consistent was every student thought the documentary will be a good idea. All the students say they are willing to be interviewed and give their opinion on which direction the school should turn during halftime.
I went to Sherri and Royal's apartment to interview them. They gave me a great 20 minute soundbite. I plan on interviewing at least 50 students in the documentary.
The style of the documentary will just be a lot of soundbites and plenty b-roll. I have some footage of the band during the season when Robert Champion died.
Tomorrow I will start editing some of the soundbites and try to figure out which were the best..

New Doc Idea, "The Show Must Go On!!"
Today marks the day of an idea that may make local artists in Tallahassee, the biggest difference in Tallahassee's history. Yesterday I talked to my cousin and he told me some news that made my mission of a journalists/entrepreneur that much more urgent.
I'm not going to get into all the details about my personal/family matters but it wouldn't be fair if I wasn't honest and told you what really pushed me to this idea of an documentary.
With the FAMU Marching 100 Band being suspended indefinitely alumni, residents, workers and students are concerned about what the next steps are for entertainment during half-time in Tallahassee. No band means some type of entertainment must replace it.
The goal of this documentary is to find answers about what should be the next steps for entertainment if the Marching 100 is suspended throughout the entire year. This documentary will capture the emotions and soundbites of people who are prominent citizens in Tallahassee.
The documentary will answer questions like, how do you feel about high-school marching bands performing at half-time? How do you feel about a Show-Time at the Apollo type of entertainment from local artists in Tallahassee at half-time (With Joe Bullard as the host)? What do you think some of the positives/negatives from having local talent perform at half-time?
Tomorrow I will begin interviewing students in FAMU's School of Journalism and Graphic Communication to get their perspective on what the next steps should be.
