Filming day #1

You ever get the feeling like you are in over your head, well this is why I am taking this project seriously from the beginning so that would not be an issue. I arranged an appointment last week to meet with Ms Abraham of the St. Margaret's Boys School, to discuss the successes of her youth steel pan band. She is the administrator of this group and I thought it appropriate to target this group for the documentary because of their seven consecutive year win at the steel panorama finals for youths. Which would then lead me to ask, what is the secret?

Based on the proposal I should have started filming on Wednesday, January 25th. This was when the production stage began for me and of course on the 26th I began filming. Thursday was the most suitable day to meet with this band. I had a one on one with Ms Abraham and filmed the group during pan practice, also chatting with some band members. They were a professional unified band that loved this instrument. This was exactly the kind of passion I wanted to show on camera.

This reaches phase one of my plan to execute this project. Throughout the course of the week I would map out different phases of this documentary I would like to meet before hand. I want to begin editing as soon as possible. I have already interacted with possible candidates and would officially begin filming again soon. Until then I would keep you in the loop and try to include behind the scenes footage here.
