Update

So, the interview with Ms. Cloonan went well. She didn't put down students' manners as much as I would have liked, but it was her honest opinion. There is about 3 minutes of her answering several questions I asked. So, I will be able to implement the footage into my video as soon as I have compiled everything I want.

I am still waiting for an email interview response from one person. Another woman is busy until the first week of May, so I'm waiting for then. And the third, probably most helpful woman, has volunteered her two kids to be interviewed to talk about etiquette courses.

Now, I still need to get footage of the me holding a door open for people skit and people waiting at crosswalks (which I kind of have already) also, a sketch about good manners and bad manners.

I really want to include some stock footage of already existing footage online to "mock" some things, but it is not too easy to rip videos from any video player on a website...I'm considering getting some footage of my mom's preschool class to show how, at such a young age, kids already lack simple please and thank you manners...Not sure if that would do so much for my project, but it's a very accessible option.

I will not deny that I have been procrastinating, but I'm making it a very gradual process that WILL all come together to form a nice documentary in the end, so I am not worried. Once everything is filmed, the video will be edited in a short amount of time.
