Managing people in this project was by far the most stressful, time consuming aspect. First of all we knew we needed about 7 or more people to interview in order to get different responses and so on. The hard part proved to be organizing times and places in which we could sit down and interview these people, myself and Ellie had a brief idea of people we could potentially interview (these people being mutual friends of ours, mainly because they were more accessible and easier to contact) Of course nobody is going to be available to be interviewed at the same time on the same day in a orderly queue type of way, so I thought the sooner we find out when these people are free the better, I immediately got in touch with possible interviewee's in a week that as a group we'd set aside for filming. I contacted all potential people that could feature in our documentary and got a very good response back and were available and happy to take part in our production, despite the almost last minute contacting of people.
That was probably the hardest part out the way and once we had organized when/were we were interviewing these people the next step was to focus on filming itself. There wasn't much directing we could do towards our interviewee's except from minor rules such as; not looking into the camera and answering the questions in as much detail as they can. Our interviewee's did a fantastic job and we couldn't have asked for better participants.
