Filming Process

Sorry, I forgot to add what questions we used throughout our filming of our friend Leah's grandfather. We interviewed both Leah and her grandfather so we all cooperated to create a set of questions that would effectively have them spill out information. 

The questions we came up with for her grandfather were the following:

• Tell me about your full name, when and where you were born.
• Tell me about your childhood. 
• What were some of your favorite hobbies back when you were my age?
• What are your favorite hobbies now?
• What are some things you can still do now that you would do before?
• What is an average day for you like?
• What are some things your parents never did that you have been able to do?
• What do you enjoy now?
• Do you think you carry around a kind of stereotype?
• What do you think about yourself?

The questions we asked Leah were the following: 

• Whats your full name, when and when were you born?
• How have your grandparents grown up to be apart of your life?
• How well do you know your grandparents?
• What are some things you share in common with them?
• What is your stereotypical idea of a elderly person?
• Do your grandparents match that?
• What do you think of them as a person?
• What is your favorite memory/story that you have of your grandparents?

We wanted to follow the documentary-like questions and avoid yes/no questions, like we learned in class. From the answers we received, we feel as if these questions definitely got a response out of him, and hopefully will do the same for Isabel's grandpa. If i didn't mention it yet (or if I did, sorry for the repetition) we are interviewing two sets of grandchildren and grandparents to see what they both say. Not only will we have more than two subjects, but it will allow us to compare and contrast their responses and see how we can edit it to our liking. So far, I think we have done a great job and have remained on task. Next up: filming part 2!
