Documentary Status

  What is the status of your documentary?  What is each of your team members doing to support it?  What exactly have you been doing?  What are some challenges you've been having?  How can you overcome them?

The current status of my documentary is that it's completed. I'm satisfied with how it looks. I don't think any of my teammates are done though, since I have a laptop and was able to do a lot of work at home. I've filmed multiple days of b-roll and operated the camera. It was hard to try to stay close to my group, since I had a lot of days where the advanced kids wanted to work on Iron Gun with me, so I felt really guilty when Amber and Shania went to go shoot b-roll by themselves- but I didn't even end up getting that footage. I didn't need it anyways. Next time, I'm not too sure how I could change this, since I was needed in both groups. I tried as hard as I could though, and I finished everything in time, so I think I did a good job managing my documentary, reel, website, and documentary film all at the same time.
    Some advice that I would give to other groups in the future, is to try to get to know classes before you pick them. Some students in certain classes aren't very outgoing, but we had to pick our class the day of, so it was tricky. I would've wanted to pick another class, since the class we picked had a lot of shy students. Nobody was outgoing, and they gave us rough answers, that we had to go on and adjust. This was because the participants were so shy and nervous. A lot of them also weren't completely fluent in English, as in you could tell that English wasn't their first language. This made it so much harder to complete a good documentary.
