Shooting the vox pops, first off, were a lot easier than expected. I expected my group and I to have a rather difficult time finding people to ask questions about our location (The Cotton Exchange). When I arrived, however, there were a ton of people out and about, enjoying the beautiful and sunny day. Right off the bat, we found a friendly group willing to spare a little time answering questions about the Cotton Exchange. I anticipated focusing more on the "haunted" aspect of Wilmington and T.C.E. but no one we asked had been on the tour that our expert gives, so we decided to focus more on the general history of T.C.E. itself. The shop owners at T.C.E. turned out to be extremely friendly and more than willing to answer our vox pop questions.
Shooting the expert interview turned out to be very informative. I was afraid our expert would speak too heavily on the haunted aspect of T.C.E. and therefore clash with the vox pops, but she was very knowledgable about the history of Wilmington and it worked great with our vox pops. Our expert doesn't have her own office or shop where we could film indoors so I was really worried about filming it outside at first. Thankfully we found a nice, low-traffic place where the Cotton Exchange could act as a backdrop and it turned out beautifully, in my opinion.
