Shot List
LOCATION BASED- (2)
Milford, MI (JOHN W. MOOREs MONTAGE)
Will shoot a major part of the documentary here. The shots will be
random, but will consist of several angles of my grandfathers amateur
radio equipment, such as
B-Roll
-Operating equipment
-Transceivers, antennas, certifications, etc.
-Walking around house/outside
-Describing his station set-up
Interview
-Sequences of him speaking about his licensing, his years before the
Vietnam War in the Army, the future of HAM, frequency capabilities,
NWS affiliations (possibly w/John E. Moore)

Owosso, MI (JOHN E. MOOREs MONTAGE)

Consists of a smaller, but important part of the documentary.
B-roll
-Showing of licensing
-WNIC relics

Interview

Sequences of him describing his internship at WNIC, what happens when

you dont have a license and you use the FM, FCC regulations, how to
get licensed, NWS affiliations (by himself)

Alternate Ideas
#1- General History of Radio
Summary:
Instead of focusing solely on HAM (considering I may have a 5% chance of having a problem shooting
the interview), Ill make a broader study of radio history, including HAM and commercial radio, and OEs
radio station popularity.
