Today I started filming and set up more interviews. This morning I spoke a little with my math teacher Aliza to get her opinion on how animas is as a project based learning school and what we need to to do become more project based. She had some good points on this subject, before she taught at animas she was a math teacher at High Tech High, the project based learning school that Animas is modeled after. I also began to collect B-Roll footage around the school. I took a entire X block period filming kids and what they are doing so I can have smooth transitions and footage to put voice overs to. One thing thats in store for me this week is meeting with Sean, the head of school, to talk a little about the school and the direction its headed. Im not to sure how many plans for the future there are, and if there are not many it could change the entire film. Tomorrow I will start setting up some student interviews and also spend some time researching how to conduct an effective interview, and other documentary filming, scripting techniques that I could benefit from.
