Project Update

Jason has gone to Costa Rica for the next week and a half on a surf trip. Thus, for the most part, I shall dedicate my time on the project to the upcoming trip to New Jersey. Jason has contacted one of his Physical Therapists and she has agreed to meet on Monday, Nov. 19th for an interview (she's also going to walk us through the hospital, although I don't think I'll be able to tape this). This should be good, Jason is excited to see her again and was very upbeat after their phone conversation. He also spoke with his High School advisor who has also agreed to do an interview. We're planning on going to the hospital early morning, and setting up the advisor interview for later in the afternoon.

I've also e-mailed two psychology professors: Dr. Mark Galizio and Dr. Julian Keith who seem to have extremely qualified backgrounds for Jason's case. Hopefully we'll get an interview with one or both, or atleast some good recommendations from them.

Definately ask if you can film in the hospital as you go through. Explain that you won't shoot anything with people in the shot and that the shots you get will simply be for b-roll and will be helpful in going under the interviews. All they can say is no and if they say yes it will be very helpful to you in editing.

Also, while you're there get tons of b-roll footage. Jason's house, his school, the place the accident happened. Him hanging out with friends. General shots of the town (road signs, shopping areas, neighborhoods)...all of this will make your footage more well rounded.
