Pre-Production
So, the date was sometime last month, and me and Nikita (my fellow documentarian) were brainstorming what to do for our documentary. I was kinda hungry so my first thought was to make it about food, specifically the struggling mom n pop shops in America. But after some research we determined it would be difficult to do. We then thought of what current issues there were, and we eventually landed on fast fashion. We decided our premise should be about how thrifting can combat fast fashion's negative effects on our planet. We then whipped together a crude planning sheet (which we later fixed after some constructive criticism from Ms. Stoklosa)
We looked at various thrift stores around and eventually landed on SYZN Thrift for various reasons:
-it wasn't too far
-the store was very colorful (as opposed to goodwill, which is very grey)
-it seemed like we'd have better chances of getting permission to film cuz i'd been there before and the people were pretty laid back
-they have cool stuff
-there's a raising canes nearby😋
Then I contacted a couple of my friends who are big thrifters asking if they wanted to come and do an interview. My good friend Cooper said yes and we planned to film on a saturday. In the meantime, Nikita and I solidified our plan, wrote questions for Cooper, and worked on getting the structure of the documentary down. We divided it into 3 segments: The Beginning: Introducing the topic, Middle: Explaining the problem, and the End: offering a solution (thrifting). We also established what each of us was gonna do in terms of post production. Nikita was going to make the green screen stand up segment, and I was going to put all the stuff together.
