Focusing our project

Last night, our group got together for our weekly production meeting to discuss what we would be doing for this week. We all decided that we have a HUGE topic that has a lot of facets...enough to make an entire series of documentaries on the subject. We decided that we need to focus in on our specific topic, which is finding the low cost/no cost spay and neuter programs for low income pet owners. It has been documented that the lower income families who make up the bottom 3% of the economic population contribute to 70% of the pet overpopulation problem because they can not afford to sterilize their pets. I think that all of our interviews need to be somehow directed to addressing this problem, or to what we can do as a society to make low cost/no cost sterilizations a priority for all communities.

Dom brought over the camera kit, and him and I set up a couple of shots to get familiar with the equipment. I'm looking forward to the workshop to refresh myself with all of the camera techniques.... I've been asking people here on the film to help me with some of the technical stuff, like our music editor has agreed to lend advice for our sound quality, and my friend is a production designer, and has said that he would help out with any visuals.
