We’re starting to lose track of the number of days we’ve been here in San Diego, but today does mark our last day of filming, photographing, and audio collecting on location with Foundation for Women’s heroes. \u00a0The production phase has come to an end, and now the editing begins.<\/p>\n

Phil says that audio is the backbone of any documentary. \u00a0Without good audio you’re sunk. Capturing sound bites is quite the process, as we have all learned first hand. \u00a0First comes microphone set up, then sound levels are tested and monitored, the interview is conducted … and then the “fun” begins. \u00a0Each interview must be transcribed, word for word, by someone so that it can be easily edited and the audio can be added to the film. \u00a0To easily pick out quotes in an interview is key to telling the person’s story.<\/p>\n

“We are all walking around telling a personal narrative to ourselves,” explains Sara Begley, a workshop participant, “and they absolutely define who we are. \u00a0I think everybody wants to be heard and understood.”<\/p>\n

Sara is the storytelling expert of the group. \u00a0A San Diego resident, Sara has made a business of capturing family histories through interviews, transcription, and printing. \u00a0While she has put her transcribing skills to good use here at the workshop, her ability to tell a compelling story has truly been her gift to this process.<\/p>\n

“In this \u00a0documentary\u00a0film making\u00a0process, the story is organic \u2013 it\u2019s them, it\u2019s the person, it\u2019s their life – it\u2019s so easy to capture that, just get someone to start talking.” \u00a0The difference with this workshop is that the visual component is added to story. “Phil and his art take storytelling up a level. \u00a0Learning from him has been inspiring.\u00a0I need stories, I crave them.\u00a0 I\u2019ve always been that way.\u00a0 They carry me. And now I know that what I want to do for a living is possible.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
