The reviews are in… I need more. Here I thought I shot enough footage but the professor said I needed more. Well… more of Troy rapping at least. He noted that the only B-roll I have of Troy rapping is during the Classic Pep Rally. The only he said that threw was that I needed more effects. I personally don't want a lot crazy effects on the doc, taking people out of the tone I’m trying to set. I quickly made an effort to contact Troy and meet with him later after classes to get some more footage. Since we were both leaving town tomorrow for Thanksgiving it had to be tonight. Especially since the cameras are due Monday. Fortunately, everybody that the introduction was cool, and liked the tone I was trying to set. Everyone else pretty much seconded the professor, saying I needed more of the musical aspect and I agreed. Not that I look back there isn’t much footage of Troy rapping.
If I can say anything about this experience, I really appreciated Troy’s openness to doing the documentary. He was happy to have me over and get more footage of him relaxing at home with his friends. He was even able to rap a couple of verses of things he had written.
