My Role on Filming day:

My role - Producer/Director

As the Facebook posts and Brighton and Hove Council email was unsuccessful in recruiting participants, I took it upon myself to collect participants around campus. This hindered the project due to the smaller pool of people that were accessible. However, fortunately as we were filming on a Saturday there was more of a mix of people on campus. I ensured I picked diverse people with different ages to allow for the best participants possible in the situation we found ourselves in. While doing this I was also contacting family that lived in the area to help me out. At first I didn't want to use them as it was a long journey for just a 5 minute interview; however after contacting them they were very happy to help, of course they didn't end up doing it as we didn't film any other day due to corona virus. But this was a good implication that I was very quick to adapt to allow the filming to continue.

Big Filming Day

Saturday 14th March:

Plan for the day -

Gain participants through Facebook groups and through the councils contacts
Film for day with multiple participants

What happened on the day -

Unfortunately nobody replied through the multiple Facebook events I posted and no one responded through the councils community event posts. So we as a group had to adapt to the situation we were now in. Fortunately, we already captured some footage of around 10 participants before this day, but we were initially aiming for 50 participants.

So to make the most out of the situation we decided to physically find volunteers of varied ages on campus. Of course it wasn't too easy finding a large variation of ages of participants due to the fact we were on campus. However, we did find and get around another 10 participants to get involved with ranges of ages from 18 - 45. So overall we made the most of the day the best we could especially due to the scenario we were in.

Fits Brief:

Brief:

Show people from different backgrounds can and do get along and a key message that needs to be shown is :

We can stand alongside our neighbours even if we don’t know them or look like them or sound like them. We can say we are different. But we are the same. We can show that people of different background can, and do, get along.

We had to ensure we didn't go off task and that we stuck to the brief in question. We are currently doing this in the second half of the video especially when we present different people of different backgrounds all having something in common. Overall we are ensuring we follow the brief to make the most desirable product for the clients!

Mock Up Screenshots:

Below is a screenshot of a 'Cut' video that gave us inspiration and how we replicated it in the studio on campus:

We have multiple participants in a very similar close up shot as they answer the questions. In the first segment we will see some people and hear others say their nationality as the map of the world gets filled out, like below. The strings all lead to one spot Brighton, showing that all these diverse people reside in one location!

Of course during the one minute video we won't see everybody we will just hear them but for the 'collage' scene we will see them as they reveal stuff they have in common. 

For example, in the mock up these people all like Italian food, some old some young and of different nationalities. This is the second segment of the video and the hope is that out of 50 participants we will see a full screen of a different variety of people!
