Frist Edit

Today was the first day that I went to the editing suit to star working on my documentary and getting rough cut together.

It took a while to go over everyone's interview and selecting the scenes that might be used in my rough cut.

Im really happy with everyone interives except mine, which I will be re-doing anyway, but at least I have make a start on editing.

I send some question to Melanie, who suffers form Endo too. I got in contacted with her through Twitter. About is my email to her with the questions and then an email back from her with her answers.

So kind of Melanie. Thank you

Editing Suit Booking so Far

In above picture are the bookings I have made so far on computer number 8 in the Editing Suit. My aim is to finish my film by mid-March, Cross-Fingers.

Possible Music

A friend of my got me in touch with a composer friend of hers called Aaron King, who is at Oxford University.

I had a look at his website and really like some of his music, particularly this one called 'Letting Go'



The first 29 second's is the perfect tune for my documentary. So hopefully Aaron would be willing to compose something very similar to it. Without the singing!

Dr. Christian Becker's Interview

Today's Dr Christian Becker's interview went really well. My Friend Gabby came along and help with sound and lighting during his interview.

She was fab!

Dr.Becker was really natural on camera, and I love the positioning of the camera.

We had to re ajusted a bit of the lighting, when he sat down because of the light reflections on his glasses.

The sun came out during filming, so some of the footage that we have is a bit brighter, but its not bad and you can't see any shadow of Dr. Becker.

Dr Becker also signed the consent and relase from. We also talked about posslaby filming a bit in sugary, so will see what happens there.
Thank you.

       

Practise Run

Yesterday my stress levels were high! But today there much better. 

On Tuesday I collected kit from Nati at the Wheatly Campus, which was: 

Lighting Kit

Camera Light

Rode Mic

Cannon XF300 Camera

Film Tripod

XLR Cables 

Clip on Mics

I went to Headington Hill Hall as I am filming in the Music room tomorrow, and wanted to see if it was free today, so that I could practise and set up ready for Thursday. 

Luckily for me it was, so I spent a lot of time run like a yoyo back and forth from seat to camera, to make sure that the positing was correct, lighting and that sound was working. 

Once I was happy with everything, I decide to use the time and talk to the camera myself on my experience with Endo. I feel it went really well, though I will reshoot some bits. 

This is me inform of the camera, with no make up on. (Forgot!!!)

To the right here is the set up I had today with camera and lights.
