To utilize the time frame provided by a short documentary to the best of its potential, we as a group have researched and we should film for our product. These locations and interviews are encompass the essence of the filipino community in Qatar, being the most relevant to our subject matter, and beneficial to our end goal.
With our objectives in mind, we have chosen the following locations for the production of Trabaho
- Church of Our Lady of the Rosary- primary objective for us when it comes to getting an insight into the religious life of Filipinos, main Catholic church in Doha. This would require at least two weekends (two visits).
- Qatar Sports Club- a good window into the leisure side of Filipino lives due to the high number of Filipinos who visit the club. Possible interviews with coaches/ heads of the club would be the primary objectives. A single visitwould be enough due to the limited amount of footage that can be obtained from a single club.
- Souq Waqif/ Corniche- two leisure hotspots for Filipinos in Doha. If enough footage is obtained, only one of these two locations will be features in Trabaho. A low chance of interviews with random individuals is possible, which would be great (as a contrast to pre-arranged interviews in our film). A single day would be enough to film at one of these locations.
- Pre-Arranged Final Interview- we plan on conducting a 'finale' interview with a high-ranked individual that would most likely act as a conclusion to our film. The location will be arranged once we are aware of who this person is. A single day would be enough for this task.
Although there are numerous variables that can alter the length of the filming process (eg. choosing between the Souq and Corniche or only one of them, or requiring more footage from one (or more) of the locations), Trabaho will approximately be shot over the course of five/ six days, which will be divided between five/ six weeks depending on how many locations can be visited in a single weekend.
