Week 9

This past week we focused on figuring out what direction we want the film to take.  Hannah decided that she would like it to be focused on moonshiners and people who live/lived in a moonshining environment and what kind of effect it has had on their lives.  We will still be focusing on the friendly and warm culture that goes along with moonshining.  She also made a decision for what our title will be; Shiners.  For the past week we also discussed who we would like our next interview subjects to be.  We have a few friends in mind that Hannah and Michaela were supposed to get in touch with to plan interviews with.  Michaela reached out to her two friends who grew up in a moonshining household, Hannah contacted her friend who makes moonshine, and Hannah will also be asking my friend Alex if he would discuss growing up making moonshine.  We have also been planning for our film festival research and marketing assignment.  The local film festivals are on the top of our list since our topic has regional importance but there are a few in other states that could work that definitely have moonshining in their southern culture.  Our rough cut is due tomorrow and we have edited together clips to make sense on a timeline to get more of a narrative sense.
