Interview - Fleshing Out A Storyboard

I have decided to do my interview on a good friend of mine who sadly passed away a few years ago.

His name is Ricky Manson Neill; known to all as Rick.

Starting with an introduction to Rick and his family through a series of photos,
To the incident itself; images / news footage of the house fire.


I intend to move past this as quick as possible without cutting information,
onto the interviews of Rick's family and friends.

I will ask a series of questions aimed to uncover each of the individually perceived versions of Rick, in an effort to paint an image of him as a whole.

I want to use the B-Roll as suitable, based on topics covered within interviews (so dependent on their content). This will have to be shot after the interviews themselves.

I will however have shots of Paritutu Rock and Rick's memorial stone.

I will ask each question; and collage the responses appropriately. Taking the most interesting responses and cutting/splicing them together. This will be the most efficient way of asking the same question to different people again and again.

The questions are (at this stage):

Who was Rick to you?
How would you describe Rick?
How did Rick spend his time?
What's your fondest memory of Rick?
What wisdom has Rick imparted on you, in his time with us?
What sort of shenanigans did you get up to with Rick?
What's the funniest or strangest thing you can remember doing or saying?
What role does Rick play in your life now?
If you could say one more thing to Rick, what would it be?

I would like to interview:

Deb - Rick's Mother
Tamara - Rick's Sister
Shannon - Rick's Sister
Sefton - Rick's Sister
Shelley - Rick's Other Mother
Jed - Family Friend
Nick - Family Friend
Vicki - Rick's Other Other Mother
Bronson - Family Friend
Liam - Ex-Flatmate
Nick - Ex-Flatmate

and anyone else willing to portray their impression of Rick.
