So for our documentary project our group will be taking an
approach of “Film=Jobs” in the area of Wilmington.
I believe our vox-pops will take place around film landmark
locations in downtown Wilmington. One location is on 5th and Market,
which can be seen in the film Blue Velvet.
I guess in order to break the ice, we will ask them what
films or TV shows they can think of that are filmed in Wilmington.
- Do you watch the shows or movies that are shot here, and if so which ones?
- Do you recognize this location? (depending on the landmark we are by)
- Do you feel the film industry is Wilmington is beneficial to the economy, and how or how not?
My questions focus more on whether the bystander is able to
recognize the location they are at, and how they feel about the film industry
economically.
I don’t know who our expert witness is yet, but Jacob (our
producer), does know him. From what I have heard he is one of the view
filmmakers who is deciding to stay here and try develop a feature length film.
He has worked on some local filmed shows and I believe he is currently on Under the Dome. I think the tone we would like to set for the interview is informative.
Questions we may ask expert might include:
- What made you pursue a career in film?
- Are you local resident or came to Wilmington because of the industry here, if so why?
- Do you think people of Wilmington realize how constant the filming is done here?
- What sort of education or prior knowledge did you need to have in order to get where you are at now
- Was it difficult to get film work in Wilmington?
- Have you ever gone outside of Wilmington to get work? If so, why?
- Do you know any people who have come from other places to work in film, here in Wilmington?
- Do you know any people who have left Wilmington to seek film work, if so where and why?
- How vital is it for Wilmington to produce local talent?
- Any advice you can give to local students now who are interested in working in the Wilmington film industry?
