Filming - Capturing Margret Ross & Jim Ross's interview

We captured the footage from Margret and Jim Ross's interview. On watching the footage we discovered that the framing of the interview was not suitable as the main feature of the interview should have been her eyes where as the mise en scen was distracting us from them.

We have rescheduled our interview for another time.

Filming - Vox pops

Jess and I went to two shopping centers and filmed some vox pops. We asked many people what their favorite and worst smell, taste, sound, sight and feelings were and filmed their answers.

We also filmed for our beginning sequence where the camera is hand held and walking down a street. We took two different shots to see which one we preferred.

Filming - Margret Ross and Jim Ross

Jess and I went to Margret Ross's interview at her home. Ashleigh was unable to attend as she was ill. We encountered no problems with the filming of the interview and also asked Jim Ross (Margret's husband) some additional questions while we were there. I have attached a copy of them bellow.

1) How has it affected your life since Margret lost her sight?

2) Do you find it hard to keep on top of housework and activities in your daily life?

3) How is your eye site?

4) Tell me about the help and support you would like to further receive?

Moreover, we also filmed one of the cutaways for our beginning sequence - a hand stroking a dog.

Planning - Music Bed Copy Right

In order to use MGMT's song 'Electric Feel' as out music bed we had to email the record company which owns the song to ask permission to use it in our documentary.
