Documentary Group Project

I'm part of Kelsie's documentary group for the final project, where we'll basically be stalking Averill's production group with cameras and following them through their process. As I've discussed with Kelsie, my experience with film and "documentaries" is, unfotunately, pretty limited. I do have some experience with theater, directing, and different forms of digital media (video editing as well as other forms of digital media, mainly using Adobe products in general) so hopefully those skills will come in handy.

We discussed last time in class what we would like to get out of this project and the kinds of questions we'd like to ask the cast and director before they really get into the rehearsal project (they are outlined on Kelsie's blog).

Some other things I'd like to find out as we go through this process are about how Averill goes about directing this piece. Some thing's I'd like to learn are:

• Do you have any experience directing?
• What kind of challenges are you facing trying to lead others through this process?
• Do you have a definitive concept for this show?
• What do you want the audience to get out of watching this?

Also, in general, I'm curious about how they will go about moving this production forward, and I'm excited to see how it turns out!
