Feet Production 1

Production stage yippee!!! 

Mr. Berna - 11/07

Sorry, this was the best screenshot I could get

The first interview we conducted was with Mr. Berna. He's Zach's English teacher and has a minor in psychology. This interview went so much better than I could've possibly imagined. He gave us so much interesting insight, from theories of why Gen z has this relationship with such a crucial part of their body to his own experience as a teacher with his students. He was really passionate about the topic which was soooo great for us. His interview ended up being about 20 minutes long (pain to edit). We filmed the interview during our lunch period (luckily my teacher gave me double lunch and I was able to be there), so he had to eat his ramen for the interview which was kinda funny. Overall, this interview went great and we got so much good footage.

MOTS @ Town Center - 11/11

When we first started planning out this doc, we knew we wanted to include a man on the streets segment. For two main reasons, the first one being that it was a pretty simple way to gauge general public opinion of all ages, and the second one being that it would make a great intro to hook audiences in. This was pretty daunting at first because, as you can imagine, going up to random strangers and asking their opinion on feet isn't what my ideal Saturday would look like. Zach filmed, Vic interviewed, and I got extra footage with my camcorder. I think after the first couple interviews, we started feel a little more comfortable, and we ended up getting some GREAT footage. Surprisingly (but not at all), most of the responses were the same. The older generations had no problem with feet, in fact, when we showed them the picture of the foot, many people commented on how well-kept they were, and even some on how beautiful they looked. The younger generations however seemed so much more uncomfortable looking at the pictures. Surprise, surprise!

Our man on the streets went pretty well, other than the sun setting pretty early on, the interviews were so perfect for our topic. And then Zach goes to check the audio. Completely unusable. Genuinely so crushing when he told us. We think it was a problem with the mic because it sounded fine in the camera. We were already trying to schedule a day to reshoot when I remembered that I filmed practically everything on my camcorder. I was pretty reluctant that any of the audio would be good since it's really old and I was standing pretty far away but, by some miracle, the audio wasn't horrible. I was literally jumping for joy in my room. That was so stressful.

Cecilia - 11/11

After doing our man on the streets, we interviewed Vic's friend, Cecilia. While I do think we got some pretty great responses with this interview (especially surrounding hygiene), the biggest problem was that it was pretty late at night, so the lighting was pretty bad. I also talked to Cecilia in class later that week and I feel like she had so much to say. I would love to redo this interview again because I feel like it could be so much better.
