*We had a filming and production delay due to unforeseen cancellations.
Our expert
interview was a riveting and, at times, uncomfortable experience. Our subject
was an African American member of the police force and a former military man
with a fascinating story to tell and an interesting position on various
controversial topics such as police brutality, police relations with people and
communities of minorities, and several perspectives to give on various police
shootings. He provided moving anecdotes that really fostered empathy with
policemen and women while also stating his opinions on controversial events
that were difficult to hear and may have encouraged division over these topics
even within the small number of our filming crew. Overall, I was proud of the crew
for holding together and getting the project done even though some were
troubled by the views this officer expressed on camera. I now have a concern,
however, that our subject material was so heavy and deep that it will be
impossible to do it justice and cover it to an even remotely satisfactory
degree within the time confines of 2 minutes and 15 seconds.
