Documentaries 101 (Workshop #3) - Library, Tuesday Morning

[silent-robert.livejournal.com]

A note on the door of the A/V room directed students to the library. And despite being in the library - a place which terrified Jay, meaning he was sitting very still at a safe distance from anything resembling a book - Silent Bob had scrounged up a flipchart. Today the word of the day appeared to be 'SOURCES'.

He waited until the class arrived before writing anything else, smiling and nodding at each girl in turn. Seeing cameras in hand, he pointed with a quizzical expression on his face, wondering if everything was going alright outside of the workshop. Mini-update received, he turned back to his board, pointing at the word 'SOURCES' again before writing underneath it in a branching web,

- historical footage
- interviews
- statistics
- research

He drew some emphatic lines away from each of these before turning back to the girls with an expectant look on his face. Their turn to do some of the thinking.

Finally, he set them free in the library to do their research, with one slightly frantic gesture in the general direction of Special Collections.

EDIT: But before letting them go, he wrote up on the board, 'Mock interviews next workshop - prepare at least five questions to ask us'.

[[*facepalm* This is what I get for posting before I wake up. Yes, totally have homework. That was there the whole time.]]

Re: Research

Pippi is rather intimidated by all the books as per usual.

"Pip? Do you need anything before I start doing research?" Trying to put off having to go into the cavernous stacks of books? No!

"Honk!"

"Inside voice please."

"... Peep."

"Thank you."

Pippi started trying to figure out how to find information about the Teal Dear.
