So, as a soon-to-be theatre major, I am involved in the Video Production classes at my high school. We have to do this senior documentary.
I want to do it on theatre, or something theatre-related, because that is what I love and know.
I was thinking I would take a small film crew to a local theatre where I interned this summer and filming the production of a show from start to finish.
I'd look at the selection of the show, the casting, the designing processes, and the rehearsal and construction of the show, as well as the front of house business that is done for a show, and follow it through to opening night.
Here is my only concern; the logistics. They are doing the show Chicago, so I couldn't very well film rehearsal numbers or use music or clips of the show, because of the copyright.
So how do I film the show without actually filming the show?
