Production Log 3

This week I have started editing and uploading my documentary, I managed to get three interviews as I had a problem with one of the interviewees who did not want to be filmed. This week I have been piecing together my footage and adding graphics in. From looking at how much footage I have recorded, I went to film a few more piece to camera shots as the documentary overall did not look right. I also arranged another interview with a Psycologist to replace the physics professor who dropped out on me. My progress is relativly good and I think I will have my documentary completed in time by the deadline.

What I found relativley easy this week was forming my documentary together. I found this easy as I had my script complete and I followed that which made it easier for me to see what i was missing. I also started to create my animation for the documentary which I am creating in Flash, this animation in a short cartoon animation showing the mayans theory of what will happen on 21/12/12. I found this easy as I have used this program before and i know how to use it.

What I found difficult this week was trying to contact the psycologist to interview for my documentary. I currently had three interviews, but I needed another expert opinion from a different view as i had a priest who could tell me from a religous view, a doomsday follower who could tell me from a personal view and a non believer who could also tell me from a personal view. So I think having another interview with a person who can give me their opinion from a different sight, this is why I chose to interview a psycologist who can give me and the audience more information.

This week I went out to film my presenting shots in ilford. On Friday I went to Ilford shopping mall to get the publics opinion on my topic. The questions i asked were 'Do you believe the world will end and why?' I felt I got two types of answers which some believe it would and some which didnt think it would. I also wqent to film my presenting shots in seven kings park, Ilford and my house. I also went to interview the priest who was participating in my documentary. I went and filmed in south woodford at 10.30, the location i went to film was in St Marys church where the priest is located.
I also went to film the doomsday follower who agreed to let me film him in barking. For my thrid interview, the physics professor did not want me to film him so I found a person who is against the end of the world and he gave me his view.
