I spent the morning making a one-minute long video with a group. There was no editing that could be make and no over filming could happen as it would means other films would be ruined. The film had to have to speech and had to be based around current affairs happening in the news.
My group looked mainly at the itv news and decided to use the story we found about new medical research taking place and new medicines being developed that would allow bling people to see.
I really enjoyed working with my group as I thought our video turned out well though it was over a minute long. Each person was allocated something to do - such as drawing the story board, we all directed, being the film-maker (me), being extras, being the main person, being the bullies etc…
The main message of our story was understood in the sense that Chantal played a blind person who was later cured by medicine that had been developed but people found it unclear that Louise was pouring medicine on her eyes but still understood that she could later see due to something Louise had done.
We used sounds such as beatboxing when showing that the bully/bad things were about to happen. And received good feedback from the teacher and other groups on our film to do with our use of close ups and shots from afar and how when showing the main bully we started at Stevie’s feet and worked up to her face which showed her smoking which they felt was a good representation of the main bully as often you see bullies smoking.
Though the story line was serious we were able to get some humour involved and I enjoyed being involved and seeing the final piece as I think it turned out really well and thought we worked well together as we listened to each others ideas and incorporated everything that we all said - such as our use of shadows to show the bullies were coming before you could see them which was Stevie's idea.
