Hello class, I have not yet shot the interview and B-roll but have been working on the preproduction process. I’ll be interviewing a friend who works in the Vancouver mall. I’ve had many conversations with him and a central reoccurring theme – in his work and life – seems to be loneliness. The mall he works at is almost completely inactive and so I think a good piece of visual evidence would be to long static shots of empty mall concourse as the subject speaks. In speaking to my friend, I’ve discovered that he is dissatisfied with his job but is hesitant to say it explicitly. After asking him how long he’d been there, he paused for a moment and then said “Too long man… too long”. I think this would be a good line to overdub on the visual evidence of an empty mall.
