PROGRESS:
Since my last post, we have successfully picked up, used, and returned a MTN camera. We got some pretty good B-roll out of that camera, but struck out when it came to actual panhandlers, finding none during our weekend with the camera. We were worried about this, since the panhandlers are the integral part of our documentary, and therefore should be represented in our trailer - it wouldn't be a good trailer without at least one real-life pandhandler. Fortunately, I have a camera of my own, and we struck gold today and filmed three different panhandlers, getting some good shots for our trailer. Next step is the editing session on Sunday for the trailer.
READING RESPONSE:
While reading this piece, "Fellowship," I kept saying the same word over and over again - stubborn. Very stubborn. That was for sure the overall tone of the piece. I also kept wondering why this sixth person was so disliked and not accepted, and couldn't find a more clear reason than, "In any case, we are five and don't want to be six." A very clear reason, yes, but why can't there just be six of them instead of five? Think of what they could do with six people instead of five: 3 on 3 basketball games, and... well, yeah, they could run threes in basketball! Anyways, I didn't really understand why these five people were so stubborn, but I did admire the persistence of the unwelcome sixth dude - "but however much we push him away, back he comes." Persistent little guy.
