Fine tuning edit.

Today i went through my edit cleaned up some of the interviews cutting down the silence then adding in my voice over clips that Lizzie kindly provided us with the voice over was used to explain certain parts of the documentary for example when the paramedics came, i also replaced my voice asking the questions with Lizzie's just so the flow of the video was better instead of different voices.

The interviews with Kaylash Panday and Orlagh Higgins could of been done better there is a shot where the tripod was moved so in the middle of the interview the camera moves i wasn't aware this had happened until i came back to look at the footage once the camera had been handed back also the shots where very shaky i am unsure why they are like this.

Kaylash and Orlagh interview. 

We also have some sound issues background noise, also i misplaced Kaylash's mic so every time Kaylash moved her hand it would be picked up on the mic this was my fault and in further i will make sure where i place the mic will be in a better place, there is also sounds being picked up of scott coughing slightly we need to re-think where the camera person and how close to the camera they are.

A nice simple intro to match the
calm and simple style we want
from this video. 

The reason for the the colours for the intro is so that it creates a nice calm feel to my audience and they will pay a lot more attention to what my documentary is saying, through out the documentary its a calm feel until we get to the part where Kathy is taken to hospital I've used music that picks up the tempo and creates a tense and uneasy atmosphere.

Ambulance waiting for Kathy.

The things i need to improve on by keep trying them is the white balanced i found it very difficult trying to make my lighting outside look less blue so when i come to edit i don't have to colour correct my videos and i will save myself time, also i need to keep working on improving my sound skills and directors skills i found my subject could easily convince me not to film when really i should of all these i will keep working on to improve myself for my next project.

Bad white balance
thats why my image have a blue
tint to it. 

Editing.

Its 17:13 and I am still in the studio editing away after sorting out the different clips that are in different formats and rendering small clips at a time I have now got a sort of order to my work, I've decided to cut the bit about Hadlow out due to the lack of imagery we had for the college and it just didn't feel right so instead I'm kind of going for a more personal look on her life so how friends feels about her being ill a bit more about her life sort of, the part where she was rushed into hospital I've decided to darken the soundtrack make it more serious and tense for my audience compared to the rest of the sound track which is kind of celtic like and fairy like music to relate back to her roots in Ireland.


The whole flow of my edit has changed as well its a lot slower and calmer i just want it to be peaceful until the point of no return ( sort of speak) where the ambulance is outside our house.

Emails to and from Sainsburys regarding filming permisson

Here are the emails I sent and received regarding permission to film in Sainsburys in Maidstone

Dear Sir or Madam,

My name is Scott Fisher, I am a student at the University for the Creative Arts in Maidstone, and I am currently making a documentary about a day in the life of an individual who suffers with Multiple Sclerosis. One of their day to day tasks is of course shopping, and their preferred store is Sainsburys, so I would be very greatful if I could have permission to film the individual doing shopping in your Maidstone store tomorrow, Saturday 1st December 2012. There would not be any shots of any other customers in the store, and I would not identify any members of staff by name or face if requested. My number is ----------- if you wish to call me to discuss the matter further.

Thank you for your time,

Kind Regards,

Scott Fisher

Hi Scott

Thanks very much for your e-mail regarding filming in our Maidstone store.

I’m afraid we aren’t going to be able to help you on this occasion. We are currently getting a very high volume of filming requests and, as I am sure you will understand, we have to turn down the majority of these requests as we just can’t accommodate everyone.

We are approaching the bussiest times of the year for our stores and given that filming is inevitably disruptive for our store colleagues and for our customers, and we already have a number of media commitments, we are only considering requests which are directly related to the Sainsbury’s brand at the moment.

I’m sorry to disappoint you and I hope you are able to find an alternative location for your filming.

Regards

Kristian

Emails to and from Hadlow College regarding filming permission

Here are the emails I sent and received regarding permission to film at Hadlow College

Dear sir/madam

My name is Scott Fisher, I am a student at the University for the creative arts in Maidstone, studying Broadcast Media. I am currently working on a documentary which is about one of the students at your college. The scenes I would like to film at the college (Hadlow Campus) are only outside of animals and the surrounding area and of the student working. I would do my best not to capture any other students on film. The days I would like to film are Wednesday 28th and Thursday 29th of November. If you have any questions or would like any more details do not hesitate to contact me, or my course tutor Helen Curston at hCurston.s1@ucreative.ac.uk

Thanks and kind regards

Please could you clarify what curriculum area the student your documentary features is in please so that I can pass your query onto the relevant person.

Ideally I would like to film this Thursday 29th of November. I would be extremely greatful if you could get back to me as soon as possible regarding this request. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Best Regards,

Dear Scott,

I am sorry to hear that you have not been contacted. I have spoken to Zoe Chapman's PA who will raise this issue with her today as soon as is possible and ask her to contact you.

Kind regards,

Jo

Dear Scott

We have considered your request and, whilst we would love to be able to help you out, unfortunately we have a large number of students who it would not be appropriate to film.

As we are unable to guarantee that you will not film these students we have had to make the  decision that, on this occasion, it will not be possible to support you.

We wish you every success in your studies.

Kind regards

Zoe Chapman

Celebs with M.S

While looking into Jack Osbourne ( recently been told he has M.S) i thought there must be more than just him in the lime light with this condition, so it accorder to me to research this and find out a bit more and its surprising to find Olympic runners have the condition and also to find  the first recorded case of the condition was Sir Augustus Frederic D'Este  grandson of King George 3rd king of england), All these kind of information will be the start of my documentary to show my audience that M.S really doesn't stop you from doing what you want. I want to start off with the first recorded case and make my way up to now with Jack Osbourne this also shows the condition can affect anyone doesn't matter about money or fame its just down to your genes. 

Sir Augustus Frederick D'Este

 Emily Mann - director and playwright

Ernie Mc Alister 










These are just a few famous names to mention there are lots more we could name but we could be here all day :). 

New information.

After having a small chat with Kathy last night we got chatting about college and now she has been given the option to do the course part time, she will still get the qualification just its going to take her a year longer i think this proves how much M.S can affect a persons life and just shows how slowly she has to take things even when she thinks she can do it at the same pace as the others.

This information will be put in at the end of the documentary as a kind of what is going to happen type of thing, and it wont be Kathy saying this information it will be the commentary as this information came after Kathy spent the night in hospital.
