Risk Assesemnt for Thursday 19th Novemeber 2015

Above is the risk assessment form I did for the interview that I did yesterday, I though I would need to fill in one or two hazards, but because we were in such a quite area there was no need.

Signed Forms

Above are the signed consent and release forms which both Dr.Price and Sam have signed, I have sent them a scanned copy of their one also have sent a scan to Susan Brown.

JR Hospital Filming

The room that we were filming in the JR Hospital Women's clinic was really easy to move around and get up. It was a simple consultant room, is a quite area of the building. Serap Karakaya, who is my cinematographer for the documentary, came along to help out. 

Thank god I went to see Nati as the sound and lights where a saviour. 

Both Dr.Price and Sam (the patient0, were brilliant being filmed and they both looked directly into the camera without me really asking them too. 

I filmed Sam first as she was then going for her operation and then Dr.Price who was between operation's and had about 15 minutes to spear! 

Ive been so nerves these passed few days, and on the day, but after the filming, I was thrilled at how the interviews went. 

There were more shots that I wanted to do but because we had limited time, I didn't get many, but the shots I did get thank you to Serap for filming I am very pleased with.

 

Shot List for JR Filming

Here is my shot list for the filming that I did for Dr Price and Sam.

Sound Equipment for Nati

Earlier this morning I took the bus to the Wheatly campus to collect not only some sound equipment but also some lights.

Nati very kindly gave me:

x1 Road Mic to plug into
x2 Clip on Microphones
x3 XLR Cables
x1 LED Video Light Kit
x1 LED Light for Camera

It was really kind of Nati to help me out, and I am really relieved. She showed how to set the sound up on the camera propabley and where the eye line should go of the person I am interviewing.

So will see how tommrrow gose! 

Floor Plan for JR Women's Clinic

Above is the floor plan that I have done for the set up of my interview room at the Women's Clinic hospital.

Stressfull and Upsetting

For the pass few days I have been dealing with the media department for John Radcliffe Hospital (JR), Susan Brown. The previous person who I was dealing with left and forgot to notify the department of my filming.

After many emails through yesterday (too many to blog) I got permission to film Dr Price and the patient. Though there is a problem, the department can't sign my location release form and I can't sign there's.

I have a feeling I annoyed Susan with my final email, which is why the next day I received this email above earlier today. Saying that the footage which I film at the JR Hospital is only used for my project and nothing else.

I was really upset and called my mum who was sensible and said just say that's fine and if the documentary is good enough then will do an email to see if they will allowed me to enter it into festivals.

From this email it made me really stressed about filming on Thursday hopefully all will be fine. 

Meeting with Alison

This morning I met with Alison to go over the filming for Thursday with the interviews. She asked my about equipment I was using for sound and I said just he Canon XF300 one which is built in.

She was really worried that the quietly of the sound wasn't going to be good enough just from the Canon, and ask if I can get sound equipment from Gov, but he was all booked out with sound for the next few weeks.

Alison gave Nati a call who is the equipment tech in Wheatly which is another Oxford Brookes Campus. Nati very kindly said I can borrow some stuff and to come by tommrrow morning to collect it.

Thank you Nati and Alison.

New Interview

Natalia Price is amazing. Ms Price very kindly asked one of her patients who is being operated on this Thursday 19th November, and she has said yes she would be fine being interviewed. I have emailed her with the realse form that I have sent to Dr. Price and with a list of her questions.

Realse Forms Feedback

I set the forms I created to Gov and Alison to have a look at, because they have had the experience its really good to get there opinions on the Location and Consent forms that I had drafted up.

They both gave back really good feedback and helpful advise. 

Location Relase Form

Above is the Location Release form which I will be getting the the owners of the locations to sign. I will send it to John Radcliffe Hospital, so that they can look it over and get back to me with any problems.

Questions for Dr.Price

Today I pick up some film equipment as on Tuesday 17th November I am filming Natalia Price (Dr Price)

The images attached are the questions that I will be asking Natalia during the interview and the release form that I will get her to sign as her consent and permission to be filmed.

Treatment

 Over the weekend I wrote my treatment for Diagnosing E, its four pages and it has given me a much clear view to look of my over the overall picture.

Global Health Film Festival

This weekend that has just gone, I visited the Global health film festival. It was so interesting and I saw many incredible documentary's. 

One of the documentaries was called India's Daughter directed by: Leslee Udwin. the documentary is about the rape that happens in India in 2012, and it goes in to full details of what acutely happened to this poor girl. 

There were so many more films that I saw, which inspired me so much. 

Weekend Filming

Over the weekend I did a bit of filming to try and get a treatment down, but found it very difficult, but I have  given a bit of information on what I have been through with Endometriosis. The footage which I filmed is a bit to long for Youtube and the blogger sit. But you will see some of the clips which I filmed in my over all documentary.

Spoke with Natalia

This afternoon I went to the John Radcliffe Hospital and spoke with Natalia, who is my gynaecologist and surgeon with Endometriosis. Natalia has been very supportive with me and is giving my lost of help with making this documentary.

JR Hospital Enquireis

  

 





Today I contacted the JR Hospital Oxford media center to see what the requiments were for interviewing the womens clinic. I called first and spoken to Amy, who then asked me to email her the details of my project and what I hope to do with it afterwards.

Below is my email too her:

Testing Edit

Above are three images, two are the camera set up I have to film myself taking about everything I could think of from before being diagnosed with Endometriosis.

The third picture, I am converting the MXF film footage file to Quicktime movie one so that I am able to send it to my teachers for them to have a look at.

Test filming

I have taken camera equipment out on Tuesday 20th October, as I am going to film my self talking about my project and trying some out to get a rough treatment out. Below is the equipment I am using and refreshing myself on it, since I last used it.

Endometriosis Poster

This is a Endometriosis poster which was in Christian's and Krina office, its really interesting giving information about the research.

StroyBoard Draft

Above here is a rough story board that I have come up with. (Excuse the pictures), this has really help me to get a much better picture of my documentary. I feel once I written up my treatment, I will be able to create a official storyboard.

Production Calendar

This moning I created my production calendar to help give me an idea on: Film, Deadlines, Research, Meeting and Research.

Through out this project I will be adding to the calendar until I have to submit everything. Below is so far what I have done of the calendar. I still need to add filming dates and a few more editing ones, but apart from that I feel on top of the everything so far!

What is Endometriosis

I feel I haven't explained fully what endometriosis is and how it can effect women. I'm still coming to terms on what it actually is and by making this documentary, I am learning something new each day.

I have created a PowerPoint with some of the research that I have done into Endometriosis.

What Endometriosis Is from Catringc

Food Diary

From the 10th August 2015, I deiced to keep a food diary and try and write down everything I ate and drank. So far it has gone well, some days I little and other more then I should. Its been really good to see the amounts and what type of foods that I am eating.

Most of them are low GI, but there have been the occasions where I break the rules which have painful consanguineous now.

Like the other day I ate a banana, non-gluten free pizza and some rice, and it had so much stomach crap and pain for two days that I have to stay in bed most of the time.

Even though I haven't been diagnosed to be Gluten Free, seeing as the Low GI diet is mostly cutting out carbs, I call my self Gluten Free.  Yesterday evening I have a Gluten Free Pizza Hut Pizza and it was yummy, not a soft as a normal pizza would have been but wasn't bad, and I have no craps afterwards and fell fine.

Meeting Christian Becker and Krina Zonderva

This morning I met with Christian Becker and Krina Zonderva who both work at the John Raddcliff Hospital, Womens Clinic in Oxford.

I met Christian in person and Krina over Skype. It was really helpful to meet them both and find out more about the research that there doing for Endometriosis.

I am really disappointed in myself, because I did do research in to what they were both doing, but because of my dexlesia, I couldn't remember any of it and the bullet point sheet that I have written up had gone missing and I didn't make a copy because it was hand written. Also when I tried to explain the documentary, if found that really difficult, I can picture the documentary in my head but just cant get out or on paper.

It was really kind of both of them to have taken the time out of there busy morning/schaguals to speak with me, I really do appreciate it.

Christian says hes going to ask one of his patios about maybe me becoming involved with a support group for Endometriosis, which would be fantastic if that did happen.

 Thank you Christian (Left) and Krina (Right)

Twitter

I've had a twitter account for a while, but have never used it. But I thought I would use if the my film project and see if I can get anyone come forward to tell the story on Endometriosis.

So will see what happens.
