Coming to an end

Well it all seems to be coming to an end, which is a relief as it means summers here but also all this hard work can be shown and seen by others, not just ourselves!
Most people within the whole class are feeling anxious now about the result and who will win the title of best documentary, which will be used by Miss Edwards to advertise the school to new students who are looking to join the school and their parents as well!
I think that everyone deserves to win because they all seem to of worked very hard during the task...and also with enthusiasm which has created a brilliant atmosphere. The competitive side to people hasn't shown much which is good but im sure people are feeling very competitive and even more so now it is coming to an end!
Well i look forward to the result!

Finishing touches

We have been given a deadline now...Wednesday 18th July!
Seeing as the deadline is so near, everyone seems to be panic free and all have the same aim of finishing the documentary so that it is the best our group can achieve.
The music we have chosen to have in the background works really well and the voice overs have created a very effective affect! We chose to have different voice overs throughout the piece so that a different voice could be related to each subject, which is different to normal voice overs, but I believe that this has worked very well so that is an affect I have learnt during this task and that you don't have to use traditional effects!
Each clip has been shot very well to show the best parts of the school (even down to the break time clip where we filmed someone eating an apple).
I believe that our documenatry has worked very well and everyone should be proud of what we have managed to achieve!

More editing

Well, we have continued to edit our documentarys and finally we can see it coming together...all the footage is great and we are starting to choose the best bits to use within the documentary!
The group is working as a team and the task has been fairly easy as everyone is there to help and we can get it done whether anyone is away or not as everyone has taken an active role from the beginning.
Everyone has enjoyed the task that we have been set and I believe that the group have worked well...even though we were put with people we wouldn't normally choose to work with!
The task has been a good experience and finally we can see an end to all the hard work everyone has put in!

Documentary for Ringwood School

Comments please

Come on guys...we want comments about our blog!!!

Continuation of downloading and editing

Today our group was slightly smaller so we decided to split up in order to make the most of the time we have left to complete the task we have been givien to carry out.
Sian, India, Dan and Helen decided that they would carry on with the downloading and editing, whilst I (Jess) decided to write so all you lot could see what we have been up to on our blog!
Overall, I believe that everyone is enjoying this task and are getting really involved in the roles they have been assigned to...some more than others!
Weather is looking good at the moment so I hope it stays this way in order for us to keep going with the task!
Speak soon....

Downloading

Today was the start of the downloading process as we have got a lot of footage and thought it would be a good idea to get going on the editing and film as we go along if there are extra bits though of.
Hannah had a very hands on approach to this and seemed to know what she was doing so we all just looked at the footage and had a laugh and good and bad shots we had filmed!
The footage we have got is very promising and I look forward to seeing the finished product!
