Blog numero tres.




Our documentary interview plan is to shoot a drag queen at Ibiza Night Club in downtown Wilmington. We will be getting one of the performers to speak on camera and we'll capture the performance and attempt to get the essence of their personality. It's important to me that we make a story out the interview with a beginning, middle and an end. I believe that making our interviewee look as good as possible is the only way to do this project. I hope to show the more fun side of a drag queen's life and open eyes of others that they are just having fun. I hope to set a light hearted tone and focus mainly upon what lead up to them getting into the business of being a drag queen. Many people in the world frown upon this lifestyle and need to be exposed to the happiness and normalcy that is associated with a drag queen lifestyle.

Tentative questions:

  1. When did you first do drag?
  2. What was your influence?
  3. How many shows have you done?
  4. What was your favorite show?
  5. Do you want to drag for many more years?
  6. What do your parents think?
  7. What do your friends think?
  8. Are you in a relationship and if so what does your partner think?
  9. What do you like most aboout being in drag?
  10. Do you recommend that everyone try it?

Vox pops will take place in the Front St. area of Downtown Wilmington.

  1. What do you think about drag queens?
  2. Do you know any personally?
  3. Would you dress in drag?

It is my hope that our subject is fun, funny, expressive and above all, transparent. The more they want to tell the better the interview. Many people shy away once the camera is turned on and I would hope we get lucky with a good subject.
