Lucine's Car Crash Pictures

Filming so far...

We've had a long planning process in order to sort out exactly what we wanted to question to interviewees, where to film them and how.

 

Yesterday evening, 12th Decemebr, we filmed Lucine Sandiford. Before starting we set up a white board and a seat infront of it where she would be sitting. We set the cameras up facing the seat and white background and on the left side of the camera we attached a very bright light to another tripod and angled it so the board and seat were in light.

 

We then went through with Lucine the details of her accident and what we were planning on asking her and what we were looking for in her answer. We then filmed straight through, cutting once or twice and filmed separate bits such as her holding a mug and stroking the dog on her lap to include a different camera shot. We then transferred the film on a Mac Laptop and edited what we had filmed so far, putting together the different shots. we cut down from the original amount of film which was six minutes to around three minutes, once other parts of the documentary has been filmed we will do further adjustments.

Love over Time

'Love Over Time'

 

This is a documentary we created using past skills we have learnt. The documentary is an expository documentary based on young couples talking about their relationships and how their relationships have developed. The narration in this documentary is heavily used throughout as I interview the couples to encourage the couples to explain their story. The documentary has a very casual feeling to it which should make to audience feel more attached as it comes across as realistic and humorous.

We did this short documentary as an experiment and a foundation to work on. We used basic editing skills such as slow motion, slow transitions and a soft effect on the screen at the beginning to almost emphasise the affection and romance between the couples, as well as filming a two shot of the couples throughout to capture their body language together. Obviously, this documentary is very basic and we did this to branch more ideas on how we could develop our ideas on editing and camera angles. There is a lot to work on in this documentary, such as there is no music throughout or backing track which would have set a romantic scene and the continuity of speech through the transitions could be worked on more.
