MEETING #2

Hello Team,

Today was our second meeting and we would like to welcome our newest member to the group, graphic design student Drew Sweress!

For Tuesday's class come up with 3-5 general questions to ask all of the people we will be interviewing. Also if there are certain questions we need to ask Jutta let's try to get those figured out by next class as well. Drew suggested that we look at the movie "Food Inc." (which is on NetFlix if anyone has it) for some interesting camera angles and interviewing techniques.

I received an email back from Jutta confirming that she is able to meet Thursday morning. She said that 10:30 or 11 would work for her but if we met her at 10:30 this would mean we would need to leave BG around 10. We can discuss this next class to figure out what would work for everyone.

One last thing to add, we are going to be going to the Toledo library on Tuesday during class time to find some old photos of Toledo and the glass factories to reproduce. I will find directions for us and bring them to class Tues. Chris do you want to drive or would you like me to?

Have a great weekend!
-Michelle

2nd Group Meeting:

Hello team! Tomorrow is our second group meeting.

Today's meeting with Heather was very helpful in figuring out a good time line for this project, as well as how to properly set up the light kit and cameras.

I would have liked to go up to the Toledo library tomorrow to begin gathering photos to recreate possibly next week, but I want to get all of your feedback on the situation... what do you think? Should we go up to the library or should we still meet at the union and figure out tasks to divide up between the team tomorrow and give them out to be more efficient?

Hope to hear back soon!

CHANGE OF PLANS

Hello team!
I heard back from our client today and she is able to meet with us next Tuesday during our class time, so I am thinking we should save some gas and just wait to go to Toledo until then. Tomorrow we can start to brainstorm on what type of questions we want to ask the people we are going to be interviewing (the serious questions as well as the ice breakers)and try to figure out some camera angles that we like. Maybe even watching some MTV interviews and see how they have done them since we have similar audiences?

These are just ideas though if anyone has any good ideas as to what we can do tomorrow feel free to post them on here! We will still be meeting Heather in class so hopefully we can get some of those notes further deciphered and figure out where we should be in this process!

See you soon,
Michelle
