Supervision Meeting

This week I booked a supervision meeting with my professor to talk about documentary and final idea, regarding casting, research.

Below is the drafted rough idea of my chosen documentary idea and what to include/ask questions about in my supervision meeting to continue developing this idea.

Serving Pretty Privilege

MAIN OBJECTIVES OF THE DOCUMENTARY: 

-Bring light to this matter, explore the issues, impact it has on society

-Mix of researched facts and statistics with emotional opinions, past stories 

-Expository and observational format

Documentary Strengths: Interesting topic that is debatable and open to different views, suits a large audience, not too spoken about.

Documentary Weaknesses: Could perhaps be hard to collect strong, contrasting opinion from people. 

Takeaway Notes From Meeting

-Focus as well on the effects on what it's like to work in places in hospitality, not just the recruitment stage, make it a human interest story, 

-Around 2 people to interview (contrasting/mixed opinions)

-Is it a good or bad thing to have this privilege?

-Strong opinions are needed for this interview

-Could consider group conversational films- potential setup for your documentary, see if you could use a bar

-Pros and cons of different documentary modes

-Expository mode (primary focus)

-How would it be shot (consider a vlog/follow around fly on the wall)

-Research the film and the subject matter

-Focus the documentary on pretty privilege in hospitality roles
