"Faith"

Original right

Bang Bang doc gang, let's get started. 

On Friday, November 7th, the crew filmed Shabbat service for b-roll. We were kind of locked in there and got some insane shots.

    I made Nico Jewish for this shot

See, it's a nice shot because of the depth ooo woww

Speaks for itself, honestly

   

The next day, we got back to the grind. We headed back to the Temple to interview a Rabbi and a teacher. 

Who up framing they interview shots correctly

We used my Sony A74 and Quinn's Lumix S5 to film. We used Hollyland Lark M2's lavalier microphones for the interviews. I was the one asking the interview questions for the Jewish portions of production (surprise surprise).  The two pictured gave us great info, and the Rabbi especially gave us great insight into the Jewish perspective on community. 

Fast forward a couple of hundred years to the establishment of the catholic church, and I guess like 5 days to November 12th, where God themselves blessed this production. As I kind of alluded to in my frankly amazing piece of literature called the post before this one, we had a lot of issues trying to secure an interview with a pastor. I guess God was hesitant to be interviewed for an AICE Media A-level project. Big if true. We called around to see if any pastors were available, and one church nearby said that one of their highest-ranking pastors was going to be out of the office(church, which I guess could be the big man's office). However, they mentioned he was coming to our school for a prior engagement he had. 

I don't think you comprehend how insane this was. We thought our whole doc was going down the drain, and this man just happened to be coming TO US.  

When we heard he was coming to us

We got our stuff together and interviewed the hell out of him. Wait, I don't think I should say that about a pastor. Hmmm. Interviewed him... well? We interviewed him well! He gave us great insight into some biblical stories about faith, specifically the story of Aberham and Isaac.  

The man himself.

That day, we also interviewed the Assistant Professor in Political Science and History from NSU. She gave us amazing info on the psychology of it all. She also explained some of the facts about religion and religious thought. She really gave the context behind the whole doc, and I seriously do not think the piece would work without her. 

Yes, the irony of her background looking
like Heaven isn't lost on me

A Jew and 2 catholics step foot in a church. This is what happened on the 13th, when Nico, Quinn, and I went to interview our second pastor, Father Saul. 

Father Saul gave a lot of the same info as Father Omar, but he did have a good point about morality and Faith in general. In fact, his piece about faith was so good that it's the opening sound bite for the main portion of our doc. That day, we also got b-roll of the empty church. 

Cross 

Here, my friends, is my second encounter with the divine during this production. On what was an otherwise empty day at the church, one woman sat alone in a garden. 

Wow

She provided the perfect visual representation of sitting with one's faith. How lucky were we that she was there? 

Our last interview was with Aneesa's angel of a mother. She provided a voice for the community as a member of the church.

And to round out production, Nico and Quinn filmed Sunday mass on the 16th. This gave us a great representation of the community that the pastors were talking about. 

While they were doing that, I was editing. See, this, my friends, is what we in the industry call "foreshadowing."
