Report on Shooting Days November 30th, 2009

November 30th, 2009

I”m back from shooting in Elkton, Maryland, these are the shoots I’ve accomplished over the weekend.   The overall report is described below:

I had a problems with time conflict, while I was able to stay at his house for a few days, he’s rarely home because he’s working and making up work for his Thanksgiving break.

When he did get home, it was either late or the his school wasn’t open for filming.  His parents were also absent, they were back on the road after their Thanksgiving break.

His second brother just got engaged over Thanksgiving so he’s also never home, working 2 jobs now saving up for the wedding.

For some reason I forgot to shoot B-roll of Elkton an Vannak’s view on his future, looking back that’s what I’m missing.

Shots I got:

* More interviews of Vannak introducing his brothers

* B-rolls of the schools

* B-rolls of Vannak in the library

* B-rolls of Vannak driving to school

* Vannak going to work late in the evening while it’s raining

* Boxing clips

* B-rolls of the brothers I haven’t filmed yet

* Vannak showing the house a little bit

I am actually happy with some of the footages I got.  Vannak’s driving to school provided some of the missing links I’m needing between his interviews.

I did get to shoot the school, even though we only have an hour or so, it was fine.  The school was rather small and there’s only one place Vannak really stayed at, and it was the library, which I filmed.

The rest of the footage were also good for B-rolls and Visual impact, like it was cold and raining outside right before he had to go to work, so I really liked that.

I love the boxing clips that we did, it gave the piece a bit more personality, especially since it’s one of his favorite hobbies.
