This week Devin and I interviewed Mars Incrucio who made the tinder card game, Matchr. He only brought a prototype, so we didn't get as much b-roll as we wanted, but it was still a good interview. It was helpful that Mars was a film student, because he knew what we wanted, and even though he rambled, he tried to oblige and be a good interviewee even when the camera cut off sometimes. We shot in a local coffee shop that had a lot of sunlight and they were very nice. Luckily, there was a family who came in and sat down behind us and started playing games. This was kind of funny, but also slightly annoying. I talked with Michelle about the shaky camera and so we posted the camera on the tripod the whole time to avoid that. The light looked clear and not orange at all.
I have been trying to listen to the class with what they are saying technically. I feel as though I am playing catch up though. We also came up with an outline from what Mars said that I feel fits the film a lot better and makes it unique - with a lot of help from Alex in our class.
We were trying to get Mars to go on three different tinder dates and take a fly on the wall approach with those dates, but he refused to do it because his "publicist said it would be a bad idea for his image." So, now we are going through tinder, as well as people we know from tinder, and trying to find matches. However, a lot of people are wary of going on the tinder date or are confused about what it is. We have also been looking to our friends and seeing if they would be willing to let us film their tinder dates since it's less creepy that way.
We have one date lined up for Sunday night, and the guy seems pretty friendly and unawkward about it all. I feel much more confident about how my footage will come together now.
