Week 7 Update

This past Saturday, our group traveled to Kure Beach to interview Cathy and Steve Hobson, a couple that has been retired for nearly five years now and currently resides in their dream beach house. The interview went very well and if possible, I would like to visit them again on a day they plan to go to the beach with friends/go out on their boat, to gather b-roll footage of them staying active and maintaining a social life. On Monday, Anthony, Emma, and I interviewed both Doug, a drummer and formally the owner of a bed and breakfast in downtown Wilmington, and Dr. Anne Glass, a gerontology professor at UNC Wilmington. Both individuals provided interesting and personal sound bites. We also gathered b-roll of each of the interviewees' locations. Our final interview before Spring Break is this Friday with Dr. Andrew Zeldin, another gerontology professor at UNC Wilmington. I am looking forward to hearing his ideas and perspectives on the topic of aging and the need to study, learn, and appreciate older adults and their lifestyle choices. Over break, I plan to begin editing the completed interviews up until this point. When it is all said and done, there will be a lot of footage to sift through and I would like to get in the habit now of staying up-to-date with editing.
