This is our final cut of our first project. We feel this piece was very successful even though this was our first attempt of using the equipment and resources.
Keri, this is really good. You have used a decent sample size and have some interesting responses. There are some great uses of on screen titles and cuts between shots/interviewees. Perhaps next time we can intercut between these interviewees ( a bit like the TV show First Dates does with the dates) so that we don't spend so long with each response in a row.
Can you add something about the responses. Did you get the responses you thought you would? What do YOU as a filming team think about the people you interviewed, would you ask the same demographics again? What would be your response if asked this question?

A POV shot of Chaplin as a chicken from delirious Big Jim’s perspective (21:00) shows how hunger is really pushing Big Jim’s view of reality to a surreal and funny world by imagining his companion as a chicken he would like to eat. The story follows the Tramp as he goes off to seek his fortune in the Alaskan gold fields, along with prospectors both good and greedy with whom he falls in and falls out...
Here is the storyboard, it shows how the annotation on the script was translated to a visual. The framing wasn't always perfect within these sketches so every now and then there are notes on how the final take should be shot on some of the squares.
