Documentary, Script & Meeting with the presenter

Today we had our second script feedback from Helen. We had a full script to show for the entire 10 minutes, but still hadn’t been able to decide on all the lines for the presenter. Helen seemed a lot happier with the beginning now, but asked us to find ways to link the documentary more together. 

In the session we listed up everyone we’re planning to talk to and realised it would be approximately 18 people:

5, VOX in London

3, Holocaust survivors

1, Social media expert

2, Imperial War Museum 

1, The Jewish Museum

1, ‘Yolocaust’ creator

5, VOX at the Memorial 

Since the documentary is only suppoused to be 10 minutes Helen advised us to get rid of the VOX in London and talk to only 1 person at the Imperial War Museum. After the meeting we sat down as a group to discuss and decided we’d cancel the VOX, but still go with 2 people at the War Museum. The reason why we decided to still have 2 people at the Imperial War Museum is because we are thinking of making a 20 minutes version of the documentary so we can send it to more film festivals. We have already arranged with the people at the museum to talk to two of them and talking to one instead of two won’t save us for that much extra time in the long run compared to the VOX in London where we would have to set off at least 5 hours to travel, rig and film. 

Script:

After the group meeting we had a meeting over Skype with our presenter Kamran to get to know him a bit better and to talk about our plans and vision and to listen to his thoughts and his ideas about the documentary. Everyone were really pleased after the meeting with the meeting as he’s a lovely person and is really passionate about the subject and keen to make this documentary as best as possible.
