Filming Dyslexia The Next Gneration.

Filming of my individual project took place over a 2 week filming schedule over the easter break. It was decided to film my contributors 1st getting the interviews, vox pops, & acting out of the way. I then edited the footage i had in final cut at home on my lap top, & went out the following day & got the footage i had missed. I found this to be the easiest part of the filming process. As i was in control, telling my contributors what to do, choosing the camera angles etc.

It was over the next few days my partner & I filmed my pieces to camera. At this point Tim became director & camera as there was no one else to film me, whilst i became the presenter, which i found extremely hard because it meant memorizing a script & being on camera which i hate!!! The more i practiced the script though the more i could remember & the more i flowed on camera, making my pieces to camera really good, with no stuttering or stammering although i did get the giggles through one of the sequences. Tim choose some really good shots and framed me very well. I really enjoyed working with Tim, as i found we bounced off of each other . Between us i feel we came up with the best shots for each individual scenareo.

After all of my footage had been edited together, it was decided to take the camera out on another occasion to get some general shots of buildings, calculators, computers, spell checkers etc.

Whilst in the classroom i came up with an idea to do a vox pop, i had 6 statements to be read & there were 6 people in the room, so i got Kim, Keely, Tom, Alecia, Adam & Sam to say them on camera, which i think has added some edge.

Technically i know i am not very accomplished & i know this shows throughout my whole project, especially the sound quality. But i do feel with quality teaching  & patience. Expanding my knowledge on subjects such as lighting & sound  I will become an accomplished camera person.
