Planning in the Quarry

Ellie and I decided to meet up again after school to begin getting some footage for the documentary. We met in Brooktondale and decided to take advantage of the nice day by filming outdoors. We gathered the camera equipment, some snacks and our planners and headed out on a walk to find a good location. We decided on a nearby quarry (it wasn't in use), we set up our camera and had a videotaped conversation.

During this conversation, we introduced ouselves and the project, both for the sake of our documentary. We also discussed a lot of dates and other logistics of our project. We decided that our first 5 day stay will take place the second weekend in April. We have yet to choose a finalized date for our second stay, however, we figured out several tentative times that work for us and Ellie is working it out with her dad.

I thought that we made great progress during this meeting and I hope to have many more like these. I also really enjoyed doing this interview outdoors because it was great to take advantage of one of the first above-freezing evenings of the year.

  1. I had a great time doing that the other day too! It is nice to see another person's viewpoint on the same project as well. I have yet to post the photos and video from that day, but I begin editing tomorrow. I'm super excited!
