Planning of Documentary



The first time I was introduced to the documentary project, Nethumi and Grace came up during the "Something Rotten" rehearsal and asked if I wanted to be a part of their group. I immediately accepted their offer and started gathering B-Roll footage to use in the documentary on that day. Weeks in advance, we gathered DOZENS of B-Roll footages to fill up the documentary, as we wanted to display all the aspects of theater. We struggled mainly with the main focus of our documentary as we needed to decide whether to surround the negative side of theatre, why students pursue it, or something revolving around the director. We concluded that we made our piece "Why do students continue to pursue theater, despite all the negative stigmas surrounding it." as it brought the best of both worlds. After, we gathered and discussed the potential interviews, as we knew this would be a vital aspect of our production. 



We had to cut down on our subjects as our teacher told us to focus our documentary on specific individuals and not on a broad area of people. We had to give our interviewees a specific amount of time that it would be even amongst them: we decided to make our documentary revolving around the subjects' experiences and how their experiences in theater have been.
