New Documentary Idea!

My original idea was to interview and investigate the pay cuts in the Jackson Public School System. After a week of sitting on this idea, I have already come across a couple of problems that I will not be able to avoid. I have already used these kids in a video, which took up a lot of their school time. I can’t ask to do that again because the principal and the teacher won’t let me. If I was able to use them again, I couldn’t because they are testing for the majority of the rest of the year.

What I plan on doing now is doing a documentary of the softball team. I thought it would be interesting to film what it is like to go on a road trip, with ups and downs. Fortunately, we leave Tuesday March 16th and staying there until the 20th. I think this will be interesting because people don’t realize how rough it is to go on road trips and the toll it takes on your body, routine, and school studies. I plan on interviewing the team during all parts of the day (waking up, before a game, at night, during studying, etc.) I think it will be funny and easy, but it will also show people what we do on top of schoolwork.
