Hey Buddy, I just got done going through your Three Delivery cycles (I didn’t understand what you meant when you told me you had three to do when you were at my house the other night!)... I will give you some brief notes for each section, and then you and I can talk about them in detail when we meet up later this week.
Delivery 1: I like that you seem to being going for both angles of the situation here (Kelly believes in True Love, while Alex doesn’t). I don’t know really know how you found your two subjects, but it sounds like they have some amazing stories to tell (especially Kelley!). More then anything else, after reading about the issues each of the women had, it sounds like the subject of divorce stemmed more from their choices in partners/ male figures (as is the case with Alex), then just the situation themselves (it didn’t last or they fell out of love, etc.). This could really add some interesting plot points for the overall story!
Delivery 2: You really know what you want here. You had a nice number of questions (although they could be filed under the kind of “general” tab), and offer up a great amount of images that help support the various points you want to cover in this documentary. I feel that there are SO many difference routes you go with this film, as to where divorce stems from (convenience, economic source, etc.) and what effects people’s decisions in getting both married and then, divorced (media, pop culture, considered the “norm”, etc.). Your sound links are also very effective… it gives us a good idea of what kind of relationship/ chemistry you have/ will have with your interviewee’s.
Delivery 3: This is really kind of a “back up” to your other links… it just shows/ demonstrates that you are actively out there looking/ finding people who are willing to talk to you about this stuff, and that you are treading this subject lightly with them (as too not offend them).
Basically what you have here is the groundwork for a film about Divorce. Personally, as a young person, I KNOW that I one day want to get married and it will be with someone I will want to spend the rest of my life with (I am a sap, what can I say!). The problem with today’s martial situation (and any situation in life, really) is convenience. It is very easy (and cheap) to get married to just about anyone today (via the court house, a “quickie” Las Vegas type place, or even over the internet), so I think more and more people are doing because they feel its right or what they are supposed to do. It is also very easy for anyone to get a divorce, so that once “giant leap” into marriage is now something that is socially and economically expectable to take back with divorce (That image you have in your journal with the Billboard reading “Marriage and Divorce” really sums it up!). It’s a real problem we have today as a society, and it really scares me to think as to where this will all lead.
I think that you should really dabble and experiment with this notion of convenience and the public opinion/ viewpoint on marriage/ divorce (in media, entertainment, etc.). I am really looking forward to working on this film with you sir!
