Filming in St Albans

We filmed on the 24th of March at St Albans high street. The idea of the filming was to get as much vox interviews as possible. We started filming at around 1 in the after-noon. The busiest time at the shopping centre and high street. Everyone in the group was given a task to do. Krish was fliming and Leke, Arti, Deme and I were asking as much questions to the interviewee. We got quiet a few interviews from the public. It was a good turn-out as we got to interview people from all ages. The whole idea for filming was to get the publics views and opinions on what they think of the issue and whether they are stuck in similar situations.

Filming

We started our filming on Wednesday 17th March. We filmed a girl called Suzy Wallis in which she admitted that she was a shopaholic. We had filmed at her house in her bedroom in which she displayed all her bellongings. She displayed her clothes, shoes, bags and jewelery and we asked her questions on her addiction and whether she thinks that it is an addiction that should be seeked by medical professions. The overall outcome of the filming went well and we will be fliming soon at a shopping centre. We will aim to get more shots from the West End or Watford.

We also got some shots from the galleria shopping centre but was stopped by the security guards.

Filming!

Last week we had discussed roles of each member and decided that we will start our filming as soon as we can. On Wednesday we started our filming but couldnt find a tape to record in. However we had decided that some of my group members will go central London and continue our filming.

Our ideas!

For the past few weeks we have seen a number of the documentaries which Alan has showed us and figured out whether the methods were useful and effective. We worked in small groups and practised using the cameras and the boom. We also got a chance to see other people's work and analyse them.

We had looked at three minute documentaries and filled in practise forms of the proposals to help us fill in our real proposals. This was interesting as we fully analysed the documentaries in terms of the target audience and the form and style of it. We watchced more documenraries to help us decide on the style and the form of the documentaries.

We were told to pick our groups and decide on a topic that we as a group would like to do. We sat down and decided on our interests and chose our topic of 'confessions of a shopaholic', as it was previously shown on T.V

Now we were ready to start our proposal and filming.
