All that said, though, it was nice to have this first day of shooting under my belt. We only had about fifteen minutes anyway, since he had to start working.
After
the interview, he had to begin his actual work at the church. I
certainly didn't want to interrupt or be in the way in any manner, so
I started to pack my stuff up. However, I realized that I should try
to get some actual footage of him working. He was practicing a piece
of music that he would perform during the church service.
Then
a few members of the church choir arrived, and I got some footage of
their rehearsal, and his method of working with people.
After
shooting, I didn't even try to check the footage. Maybe I was too
scared. But I figured then (and I still agree with this) that it was
not helpful to start to edit any footage until I had all of the
footage, and until I could discern what sections, themes, or stories
I wanted to tell with all the footage. That is, perhaps I would parse
the footage one way, but later decide a different direction for the
final film. I don't want to double work if I don't have to.
