Friday's interview went really well. Though Dr. B gave us a short amount of time to work with I think we got a lot done. Unfortunately Mrs. Dorris was feeling under the weather so we did not get to follow her around the house for b-roll or get a lot of pictures of them and their family. We did manage to film a few things around the house and the round table but we are filming again next friday so we may be able to get that if Mrs. Dorris is feeling any better. We already have a good amount of b-roll but I would like to get a little more, especially since the first time we went to their home Mrs. Dorris was so excited about showing us around. So i guess until friday we will just be working on the pproduction binder.

we met in the library this morning and went over everything we need to get this weekend. travis went to Duke last weekend and shot some b-roll of the clock tower and some other things and yesterday he went with Dr. B to Wake Forrest where Dr. B has another group he meets with weekly. Travis got some footage of Dr. B, the meeting and some b-roll also. Tomorrow Travis and Matt will meet at McDaniel's for some more b-roll and MMM footage and afterward I will meet them both at Dr. B's house where we will conduct another interview. We went over the questions we would like to ask and made a list for Dr. B to look over. We hope to get a little more specific with this set of questions as this interview will be just with Dr. B and not Mrs. Dorris. We have asked that Mrs. Dorris gather some photos together for us of them when they were younger as well as their sons and anything else she would like to show us for us to use as b-roll. Also, since all three of us will be there this time two of us will work on the interview while the other takes the tour around the house with Mrs. Dorris for some more b-roll. all in all I think we are coming along nicely. We are going to start working on the production binder individually this week and we will meet next thursday morning to get everything in order. that's all we've got for now.

Travis and I finally got to interview Dr Bennett this past weekend. We were able to visit him and his wife and they were both very nice and helpful. Mrs. Dorothea is having some health issues, which will be a major part of our dovumentary, though she did make it through a good hour of the interview. I think it was the Arri light kit that really bothered her as they put off so much heat. We sat them next to each other and they both opened up to us with great ease. They actually gave us more than we had expected, answering questions we didn;t even think off asking and sparking ideas for future interviews. There was a load of B-roll footage all over the house that Mrs. Dorothea was very anxious to show us though we ran out of time. We will have a chance to go back again to take the tour and get footage of family pictures, Dr. B's library and anything else we can. There seemed to be loads and loads of B-roll in their house. The joint interview was great but we wtill have to get footage of Dr. B on his own and a more specific interview, which he also actually told us he wanted to do. He mentioned some questions he would like to answer and a few things he would like to show us like the "round table" upstairs where the group actually started years back. I also think class this week was very helpful. Beyond the festival information, discussing our project with Shannon did us a lot of good. We made some really big changes/decisions last night which is going to help us zero in on the more important issues for our doc. I don't know if we are going to be able to line anything up for this weekend because everyone is busy with Easter but we have plenty to keep us busy over the weekend. Happy Easter.
