Filming at Reeds

Due to a misunderstanding in the group I was the only member who missed out on a day of filming at the other location that is Reeds School. This was a huge shame and occurred as a lack of communication causing complications between the rest of my group and myself.

This would have been a good opportunity for me to input my ideas, however because I didn't go with them to get the footage I am hoping to help out when it comes to editing. I trust my group to have got some really good quality filming and am looking forward to start the editing process and getting more footage from around Heathside School that I can join in with.

Practice Interview

Meg and Nick practising the interview techniques.
Here is a still shot from a video our group took a few weeks back in order to get good experience on the type of questions and compositions that we can use for the final thing. The positioning of both interviewees works well as it created a good two shot allowing the audience to see clearly what is going on / being said. Hopefully we will all gain more experience as we film the interviews for the final documentary and all of us will develop further skills in filming and editing.
Adam and myself did the filming for this while Meg and Nick volunteered to be in the footage.

Decided Location

We have managed to find a place to replace St. Georges and as a group we ae happy with the change. We are going to be filming at Reeds School in Cobham.
As you can see the school grounds are extremely spread out. We will only have the oppurtunity to focus on the sixth form area however we will be making sure we gain as much footage and information about the school itself when we go there to take location shots and film for the final documentary.
The school isnt as local as St.Georges so this will make it more difficult for us to arrange dates to film however we will make sure we get it done in time leaving vital time for editing and producing.
