The handing in of the storyboards, basic research (and what to do with it) and the hundred-word outilne of the documentary been met on the deadline in an effective way. As a researcher, I have acomplished meeting the deadlines and objectives we had set, searching for statistics, and information of contacts as the pinning-down of the data about a cop whom Ramiro (talent) is going to interview. Being the cameraman, I haven't had, obviously, no chance to film any footage at this early stage. My role as a researcher has been assigned because as a group we felt that I was an organized and working person, effective on handling information and applying it. As a cameraman, I was assigned to the role for the assumption that I could have greater potential in the selection of diverse types of shots.

As a group, we are on the stage of research, planning, and initial action, here are some goals we hace achieved:

  • Research about the topic. Finding of statistics and raw data
  • Selection of some basic shots and ideas for them. (Could we maybe include some artistic ambience to our documentary...?)
  • Finding of a contact to have interviewed, and decisions to have at least 2 days for free-interviewing at the streets
Here are some goals we are taking in count for the next stage:

  • Organizing of the data in a systematic way
  • Definate arranging of interview with the cop
  • Preparing of free-interviews
  • Deciding on further ideas
  • Recount on the equipment we have available
