This week I spent my time making the documentary as well as finishing off all the documents and files needed. This is how my finished documentary timeline window looked. I was struggling with the computer I had to edit the footage I had. The more things I added to the timeline the slower everything becameContinue reading “Week 11”

Week 10 was spent gathering sources for this new project. This was tricky as due to the time I had left. Most of the sources for background were of videos I pulled from youtube, this was because I could not obtain footage of the venue any other way. I also asked around to see ifContinue reading “Week 10”

This week was very tricky for me. I was moving back home from Brighton and still had no video filmed. The Hope and Ruin the week before had told us we could not realistically film our project.

This was and email for Sally who is the creative director and booker. We organised a meeting with Sally after I sent the email seen below. WeContinue reading “Week 4 Cont”

This is how almost every story is structured to keep the end user entertained. However not all stories need to follow it in this order.Continue reading “Week 4”

For Week 3 we had to prepare our documentary pitch idea. Our group had a few ideas. We finally decided on two. One about a busker under the bridge just off campus.
