Day 6 and 7: Production


So for the past few days we have been focusing on production and the way we want the film to swing. We have decided to focus on a single family and tie the programs the Sehgal Foundation implements such as water management, education and income enhancement. We will meet our family tomorrow in the village, but no photos or video will be taken so that our team and family can get comfortable with each other. 

I want to clarify some things on what type of documentary we will be producing.
 This is some info I pulled from the website and added in:

Students of the World (SOW) sends university teams to developing areas, where they study organizations affecting change and document this change through film, writing, and photography. We are working with the Clinton Global Initiative. Together with CGI, we select NGO partners who have made a CGI commitment to provide practical and innovative solutions to the world's most pressing problems. Returning home, they use this work to educate their university communities and support their partnered organizations. Our ultimate purpose  is to create media that spotlights our NGO partners and leverage that media to raise awareness and funds. Our final product will be a concise 5 minute documentary that shows our foundation's CGI commitment. In addition, if possible John and I we will make a longer documentary that is around 12 minutes.
