This week we did the first interview for our project, which we thought would be the main voice of our documentary. We went back to Cumberland County to the original tobacco farm that we filmed the majority of our B-Roll from last week to talk to the owner of the farm, Gary Matthews. However, the interview was pretty short and he didn't have much to say and, in typical interviewee fashion, had more to say when the camera was off. He was uncomfortable saying things that he wasn't completely positive were true and wanted to be fact checked before he said anything on film.
He did, however, give us the name of another tobacco farmer to contact that might be a better interview and we contacted him and hope to get that before class next week for the second interview. We still need to get additional B-Roll, which will be of the next interview setting depending on who we get. I also contacted a "healthcare professional" on campus to see if anyone was willing to be interviewed because I think that would be an important section of our documentary as well. We have interviewees set up in Raleigh but I was hoping to keep it closer if at all possible since we are already traveling so much for this documentary as it is.
