my production diary

i am making a documentary about Parkour 

this documentary will be focused on a local parkour group called the Solace Runners.

i will be talking to them and asking them questions about parkour and what it is.

to make this documentary i will be using footage of the SR group and interviewing them on there life of parkour. i will be asking them how long they have been doin parkour if they would recomend it to others and if its changed there lives.

i will be filming it on my own camera and tri-pod so i wont need to borrow anything from the ERC

i have made a production calender to track what i need to do on each day.

i didnt need to do any research as i know all about parkour as i do it myself
