Mini documentary

The whole thing 

   This is a whole mess. The first day we got this, I was going to do it on depression. That’s wasn’t a good idea though so we just went with diabetes. We got the idea to do one about diabetes because Kate has diabetes and so does tayah’s sister. I wrote out questions to ask and then we thought about doing the interviews in the yearbook room. They have a nice white background that would make the clothing colors pop.

My job in this project was art director. I was in charge of picking out where we were going to do the interviews and how we’re going to have it set up. Colors and what styles were what I was doing the whole time.

  Me and tayah’s went to the engineering area and film shot of her sister. Most of the shots we b-roll. It was just shots of her work on a project and shots of the tools and bolts they use. It was fun to film her doing her stuff even though the other kids were being annoying. We were going to do the interview that day but then we had to watch get real again. So that kinda ruined our plans. So we tried to film it at tayah’s and then film it at Kate’s, but things weren’t working out and none of it happened like that .we had to scrape are an idea when Kate wasn’t able to edit anything.
 
  So we decided to mate a mockumentary. It was about Kate’s cat. It looked good with the layer she put over it and we did a nice job. When we re-edit it, we will but a shadow on the words so you can see them at all time. I do enjoy having what the cat is saying in yellow because it fits with the look. Kate also added grain to the film to make it look good. I honestly couldn’t ask for a better group to be with. They are great friends of mine and I can’t wait for next year.

this is our final work. you should check it out if you have some time

PSA blog

Begin of this;

So it all had to begin with picking a group. I wanted to work with Kate , but she was working with some seniors and you could only have so many . I was in a group with Sarah , Abby and Hanna. They were all very kind and had great ideas. We decided to do a psa over hitch hiking. 

It was going to be a guy who looks very sketchy picking up a little girl hitch hiker. The hitch hiker was going to steal from the man and then it will show how that not the best idea. We had people we wanted to be are actors and some of are locations down. We wanted to film when it was just about to become night time .it started so well, but it didn’t work how we wanted it.

Middle and the end  :

We had so many snow days and are actors couldn’t commet to the days we had planned to film . So we were in a big pickle.I remember asking my group when we were going to start filming and no one had a clue . 

So are camera person thought of an idea to fix are problem. She made a psa over being in the go zone. The go zone is the part in the hallway that we’re not supposed to stand in , we have to keep moving . It was pretty funny , but not what any of us wanted. Me and Hanna were kinda in shameful showing that to the class . The class took it pretty well and we explained that it wasn’t are first idea that it was the last thing we wanted to do.

What would I change :

I would be more harsh on when we had to film and probably pick an idea that didn’t have to do with the outside. No one knew that we were going to have that many snow days , but we still could do so much better . I would also get actors who don’t ever have any plans so that we could film at any time . Maybe I could also be a director, but probably not . I’ve just haven’t done that be for so why not . 

What were the positives:

I had a group with kind and creative people. They didn’t have to invite me to there group , but they did. Hanna did her best drawing story boards .i had a fun time even though nothing went are way. It was fun and we a lot closer now
