3rd Year Project: My Project Shoot Day 1

Two weeks ago, I started my shoot week for my project. I was meant to start on Monday, however that shoot had to be cancelled, which I will talk about later in this post. also, because of the time of me getting the needed equipment, I moved one of the two shoots on the day to the next day.


The shoot was an interview at the house of one of the volunteers at the club, called Barbie. I chose to interview her as she has been a volunteer at the lunch club for almost the whole time that it has been active, plus the fact that she is the person who suggested helping out there to my nan, which she did. Me and my crew arrived at the location around midday, and took half an hour setting up the cameras and mics. we had a three camera setup, with the main camera, the Panasonic, being a wider shot than the other two, having Barbie's body in the frame. The second camera, a Sony, was on a close-up of Barbie's face, so that it could focus on her facial expressions. The third camera was a smaller Panasonic camera that I owned, which alternated between her facial expressions and her hand movements. 

The shoot went really well, and was done within the time that I had scheduled for it. When I put the footage onto my laptop, I had a look at it and the footage from all cameras looked really good, however due to the fact that they were different cameras, the footage looks slightly different, so it is going to be difficult to colour correct them to look more similar.

If I was to do this shoot again, I think I would have a few more questions for Barbie top ask so that I have got more options to put into the edit.

Documentary unit: Choosing idea

When our group started thinking about what the main focus of our documentary would be, we went through several areas, but ultimately decided to go down the technology and science route, with a technology detox. We felt that this idea was a strong one, as it is usually people who are older that decide to go through a tech detox, so ours seemed unique as we were going to have a teenager as the main focus of the documentary. When we were researching the science behind the affects of technology in our daily lives, we were finding lots of useful information, along with some possible case studies and locations to shoot. However, some complications arose, with colliding ideas and people not getting back to us for possible interviews, so we decided to end this idea and change it into just the general effects of technology in life, and the advantages and disadvantages of it. again, we felt like this was a strong idea due to it being from the perspective of a teenager, as they are the right ag...
