This week was particularly productive for me. Not only did I sit down and have a meeting with my mentor, Mrs. Amanda Ledbetter, I got in contact with the man himself, Josh Ridings. Josh and I have arranged to have a phone conversation when we both have some time, which will hopefully be this weekend. Mrs. Ledbetter and I discussed the use of cameras and some of the shots and interviews I hope to film for the documentary.

I've also been thinking about my timeline for my senior project. I've planned to film all, or as many of the Josh Ridings Band gigs as possible. Some of the specific ones I'd like to go to are the ones on September 19th, October 10th, and October 24th. I plan on continuing filming until about March or April, when I can sit down and edit all of the footage I'll (hopefully) have.

I've also found some resources that I'll be using in my research paper. I haven't found a resource specifically on the documentation of rock music, but I'm searching instead for resources that describe a certain scene or movement and how they've been documented (Punk fanzines, 21st century media, etc.) I've decided to start with the Encyclopedia Britannica entry for "rock music". I'm also looking into seeing if I can get a copy of this book, for a general starting point.
