10th January 2019 - Documentary Filming

We had a light bulb moment!!! Our session today was very productive. It consisted of an entire full day filming. We had initially planned to film at the weekend but made a last minute change after being inspired by other documentaries. After a lot of stress and panic we managed to get the remaining of our content today. We went out to buy another magazine for our interview and began by getting our set ready during lunch time, up in the TV studio. We decided to go through with a plain white background for a poetic documentary to take away any distraction and to focus purely on the person being interviewed. Unfortunately due to miss communication our set up side of the TV studio was already being used which meant we had to think fast as we had planned to film our remaining content today and needed the help of our fellow classmates for it to work. Thanks to Sarah, we managed to find a separate section in one of the photography classrooms that luckily had a white background available for us to use. No the lighting was not as good as in the TV studio and the background was not as white but we had to work with what we had got in this instance and make do in order to still film today. Although, we were kindly allowed to borrow a high definition lens for one of our cameras which made the quality look extreme!! After many battery changes, light changes and running around the college building trying to get everything sorted we managed to finalize a set which we were pretty happy with. We then began to collect people to interview them on our chosen subject which was ''effects of social media and body image particularly in young women'' this is a subject that is close to me and Stacey my partner as we feel very passionate about this deep subject and the negative effects it has on young people. We have also been a victims of this issue which meant we knew exactly how we wanted our documentary to look in order to create some sort of social action and awareness.

Me and my partner Stacey enjoyed today thoroughly despite the initial technical difficulties. We absolutely love the filming process and felt like by the end we managed to capture some amazing content for our documentary by adapting the questions during each interview to tailor to the individuals side of the story. We felt as though our footage looked exactly as we had pictured it and we are very pleased with the outcome. WE CANT WAIT TO EDIT!!
