Commission Unit- Keeping in touch with the No2Mob and Scripting.

Recently Andy and I have realized the importance of keeping in constant contact with whoever we will be working with on our documentary film pieces. We have both been discussing contingency plans in case one of our interviewees decides to cancel their interview due to nerves or due to the fact that something has occurred which means they cannot take part in the interview. We keep in touch with our NoToMob contact Steve through the use of email. He also has a contact number for my own personal mobile which means he can contact me at any point, and I can contact him if there are any last minute problems. Andy and I have also begun the process of scripting our documentary film piece. Although we obviously cannot script how long each interview segment will be, or how the interviewees will respond to the questions we ask them, we can script such things as camera angles, music and transitional scenes where the presenter will be speaking. We have made sure to try and make the script as detailed as possible so that when we are reading it on location we can quickly and easily film what we intended to film. This should save us looking like amateurs in front of our interviewees, and will hopefully make them more likely to want to meet with us again if we should need to capture more material.
