Further Collaborating Doco Ideas

In class today, my group and I did further documentary planning for our 5-9 minute documentary task. Because Nadia was away, Libby and I focused more on questions that we will ask the people that we are interviewing. This is important because these people will be giving us the core to our film. We made sure that we had many questions to ask them in case they didn't give long enough answers.
