The Black Cat Plan (Blog #3)

Currently, our group (Victoria, Melanie, Sam, and I) has decided to interview an employee from the Black Cat Shoppe in downtown Wilmington. As of right now, we plan to shoot our A-roll interview in the shop, but we still need to work that out with the employee and the shop owner. I would like to shoot in the shop and not just in some office in the back of the shop. I think it would be nice to see some of the interior of the shop in the background of our main interview.

The shop is known for hosting the ghost tours around the downtown area. So that and some details about the history of the shop might be what the short documentary will be about. We might ask questions like:

1. How long has the shop been open?
2. When did the Black Cat Shoppe start doing the tours, and did you expect them to become an attraction for the Wilmington area?
3. How many different tour guides are there? 
4. Are there several different routes that the tour guides take tourists on? Or is there only one route?
5. The tour guides talk a lot about the history behind each location they take the tourists to. How did they learn about all of the history?
6. Who is the fortune teller? And how do they go about predicting people's future's?
7. What should we know about the Wizard on Saturday? And what is the wizard?
8. Is there a personal favorite tour guide of yours? If so, why?
9. Do you lead any of the tours around Wilmington?
10. What are the long term goals for the Black Cat Shoppe?

Our vox-pop interviews will take place in/around the shop. We took our pictures for the Documentary portrait assignment outside on the Waterfront, and that area tends to have the most people walking around, so we will try to get a few people to talk to us. Some possible questions we might ask them:

1. What can you tell us about the tours around the downtown area? Specifically, the Black Cat Shoppe tours.
2. What are two locations that the tour guides take you to?
3. What do you know about the Black Cat Shoppe?
