Documentary Update

JAMA Productions documentary on Catelyn, a Down syndrome child, has been coming along. So far, we have interviewed Catelyn’s Mother, Father, and even her older sister a little bit. We have met with the family numerous times, and have a lot of footage of Catelyn playing and simply being herself. We also have footage of Catelyn and her sister playing and dancing together. The parents graciously loaned us some pictures of Catelyn throughout her childhood that we plan to include in the documentary. Furthermore, they have given us a CD of inspirational songs that we will most likely use as well. The family has been very open and receptive to our project.
We do have a couple things left to do though. This Monday, my group has an interview scheduled with one of the psychology professors, to get the technical information about Down syndrome. We will be asking the professor what Down syndrome is and how it affects an individual’s life, among other things.
After our last interview, my group will begin the editing process. Finally, we will start advertising for our film and eventually present it.
I feel that we are right on track with our documentary. Everyone in my group has equally participated and we work really well together as a team. It has been smooth sailing so far. Hopefully it will stay that way for the final stages of the project.
