Second Production Log Entry

Since we our focusing our documentary on the stereotypes at Punahou, I think the structure for it should be in the order of our age. Any other way wouldn't have a solid beginning or ending. You could go by the interests or hang out spots of the people, but then you could start the documentary and end it in any order. There wouldn't be much structure in that.

But by doing it by age, its obvious you start off with the freshmen (youngest) and probably end with the seniors (oldest). Then in between each class, there should be interviews of teachers, dean members, and/or the staff. That way we would have more varied responses. We would have the responses from the actual students who would have a pretty good idea what stereotype they fall into, and we would have the response of the adults, who can only see and assume what clique we would hang out in.

It would also be pretty easy to pull off, or at least not much of a challenge. All we would have to do is interview a couple of students from each class (freshmen,sophomores,juniors,seniors,staff) and let them do the talking. Then we could narrate to show what we would have found out about the students and/or the staff and how they all think about or deal with stereotypes. We could also add in what we, the students of the class, have to say about the stereotypes. We could also add what stereotype we think we belong in, although its not necessary to have our feedback.

What's most important is to get the information from the students. And if we go by age, we will be able to have a good sense of the time line and it will be structured quite nicely.
