Other than this interview, we have also had gone into and had a chat to the manager at the Green Room, who has agreed that some staff will be willing to be interviewed and the best time to do so will be a Thursday afternoon. Because we do not want to turn up unannounced, we will visit again early next week in person to double check their availability for next Thursday. They have also agreed to let us use a back room area of theirs for any interviews, even if they are with outsiders of their business.
This has helped us a lot, and from a Producers perspective I have found it a lot easier and more convenient to go in person to places and talk through projects rather than emailing or phoning, as it is easier to discuss the project in depth and introduce ourselves in person to start an early established working relationship with contributors.
In terms of our plan from now onwards, we will be spending the next week very involved in the project and aim to get the full film content complete by the end of next week. This is to allow ourselves a few weeks in the edit, as we feel this can sometimes be the hardest part and will be a challenge with our film, especially in certain parts of the documentary - such as the contrast between the 'legoland' city visuals and those that capture the difference and independence of the Devonshire quarter area. We are aware that we have a lot of work to do as a group within the next week, but are all looking forward to putting the full length documentary together as we are enjoying the project and find the story interesting and one which is current as it is continuing to crop up in local news articles etc.
Email contact I have had with potential contributors:
