CHANGE THE WORLD FILMING LOCATIONS

When deciding upon locations for the project, we already decided to try and keep it within the city but not entirely within the university. We decided also upon trying to get a range of age groups so as to broaden our audience and make it less like a student orientated film. Our first interview which was conducted was of tutor Annie Watson whom we felt would display a different approach opposed to filming just students within the university.

Another person we interviewed was a woman representing the Women's International League for Peace at the winter gardens. This we felt was unbelievably lucky as we had not planned upon even filming in the winter gardens, however this allowed us to get some establishing shots both outside and inside the location. By using this woman's interview, it would allow our piece to expand past the university based stereotype.

The answers to the questions were also varied with some being the obvious and giving to charity, whilst others were more inventive and such as buying seeds which would then grow into trees and allow many others to reap the benefits. Due to the length of these interviews, we then decided upon during the edit that we would utilise the asymmetric trimming method which we learnt in an earlier edit session. 

We did however encounter problems whilst filming, one of these being the camera which we used. The Sony HVR Z1E is a tape based camera and so caused problems from the beginning. The focus I found particularly difficult to correct due to the small viewfinder. The camera in question would also prove difficult to use when coming to the editing stage.
