Today the documentary team worked on interviews with various cast members. Six were interviwed in total.

Firstly, we devised open ended questions to try and elicit detailed responses from the interviewees and get them to reflect on what they have learned throughout the project. They were asked such things as 'what did you enjoy most about the project' and 'what new skills have you developed'.

It took a little while to set up the equipment as we wanted to have good sound quality so opted to use a small clip mic. We had to test it first to make sure it was working and some of the first ones we used didn't work.

When we were interviewing, sometimes we had to stop and start again as people laughed or didn't know what to say at times. Also, sometimes there were noises such as things being dropped or the bell going in the background.

We also spoke about the need to get some footage of the puppet show as that has not been filmed yet. We hoped to do some today, but it was not possible.

Tues 2nd February

Today the animators carried on with their title sequence. Last week all Diploma students voted on the title of the film, after Media students came up with a list of potential ones. The title they choose was An Unarranged Marrriage.

The documentary team started to review the footage and log all the shots, ready for editing. This is a time consuming process, so needs to be kept on top of to save time in the edit. Some of the scenes were filmed in the park involving Jack. There was also some filming in the house at lower school.

All the Media team tried on tops to see which would fit for the dance scene they are going to be in too.

REMINDER: Homework must be completed by next week.
