Process: Week 1

In our first week of filming, we successfully developed a detailed plan for shooting all the necessary footage for our documentary. We have all of the camera equipment that we need to film but we had to rent a tripod from the iTap desk in the library, to stabilize the camera during interviews. First we are planning to individually interview two people who have never before played League of Legends about what they think of the game and people who play it. During the League of Legends club meeting next Sunday, we are going to capture the remaining interviews as well as the majority of our footage. There we will interview both the President and Vice President of the club, in order to understand how exactly the group functions as a discourse community. We will also record wide angle shots of the room where the meetings are held, as well as individual game play footage of different players. We also hope to interview two members in a non-officer position to attain a viewpoint of the community different than those of the club's leaders.

We plan to use exciting and informative League of Legends game play footage to transition between interviews throughout the documentary. As a result, we are trying to determine how to best screen capture a large amount of game play footage, without sacrificing video quality. Thus far, we have been unsuccessful converting already recorded footage files to file that can be read by iMovie.
