I’m working on one of my docs and I’m glad that I’ve been experimenting with other films in between because I learned about a simple feature Adobe Premier offers (Multiple sequences in a project. A basic feature, I know.) that has helped me tremendously with organizing the footage for this doc and helping me know where my concepts are and how much footage I have for each key concept.
So I’m working through all of the footage and I think I should be done with categorizing this week. I can then work on importing and categorizing the B-roll and hopefully work on my story flow by the end of January. I’m hoping to have a final version of this film done by July.
I’ve been watching more documentaries and it’s still tough to get a feel for how I want to present this story since all the docs I’ve seen are hours of bad road (i.e. negative). But it did make me feel like a positive documentary is even more important right now. Its not a good thing to live in a society where art takes you to the abyss and never brings you back.
