First Mock Up Of Film Poster

Today..

Today in media studies i continued working on the original mock up of our poster, i had to restart due to file loss so then i made some changes to the photographs being used.

When we make the proper poster we will take all the images ourselves and edit them together on photoshop, however for the purpose of the mock up we used google images.

Further Capturing

We have recently managed to fit in interviews that were previously post-poned in the last week, so we have been capturing the footage to further enhance our project.

Rough Cut Screening - Feedback

As we haven't filmed all our interviews, we couldn't show a complete rough cut of our documentary. We did however, show the interview we did with George Neish & asked the audience for their feedback on the following things:

1) What parts do you think we should cut from the interview?

2)What parts didn't make sense because the question hadn't been included?

3) Do you think interview was framed well, with good use of mise-en-scene?

4) What parts do you think could be used as just audio as opposed to visual image & audio?

Our feedback was generally quite positive, with people commenting on the good use of light, mise-en-that represented George in his natural environment & the clear sound.

In terms of what to improve on, the general consensus was a variation in shots of the interviewee during the interview rather than having the camera in just one set place, cutting out all waffling and repetition of points, lowering the camera so the interviewee takes up more space in the shots, cutaways (although we do have cutaways but hadn't yet edited them in)

This will be incredibly useful for when we film our next string of interviews over the Christmas period.

Dunraven is Homophobic..?

When searching the meanings of the colours in the Gay Pride rainbow flag - something happened that appalled me. When searching for this information, the school had blocked the site.



Horrified by this revelation, me and my friend Lee decided to Google gay rights, and the same thing happened again.



This has posed the question in my mind as to how Dunraven can possibly say they're against homophobic bullying, when they clearly have an issue with students searching gay rights on the school computers? Hmm....

Capturing & Editing

We spent todays lesson capturing our third interview with David Robinson. As the interview was nearly 14 minutes in length, we cut the interview into small chunks, eliminating the questions being asked & just having David's answers. This will make it easier for us when editing the entire sequence, as we will be able to cut out any footage that doesn't make sense or doesn't fit within the five minute time period. We've also done this to our other footage from previous interviews.
