Interview-Sam

As part of the interviewing process for out production we have to interview different people on their views of the 2012 Olympics.

Recently we have got an interview with Sam Sturt who is a potential 2012 Gymnast and is willing to answer some questions.

Firstly the Interview will invlove us filming a variety of shots of Sam taking part in Gymnastics, then we will be directing questions at him about the positive and negative impacts of the 2012 Olympics on London.

Documentary examples

I have recently been looking at examples of documentaries in order to help us with our project. I have been looking at a varity of documentaries such as Louis Theroux Weird Wekends so we can use some of his ideas for our production.

I looked at the typical documentary forms such as The Observational Mode, Reflective Mode and more that were being used so that we could encorportae some of these ideas into our final production.

I Movie Storyboard

The next stage of the storyboard process is to use I Movie to help produce a more developed form of storyboard. Currently we are only using pictures from the Internet as a majority of our filming will be in London. Therefore shots around London that we are using are being taken off the Internet and archive shots are done in the same way too.

We have currently been expermenting with the software so that when we start using it we will be familar with the process of importing photos from the computer and cameras. We use the Kodak Zi6 which are hand heald cameras they can easily import photos onto the Apple Macs.

Interview letter

We recieved a e-mail form the London 2012 commitee confirming our e-mail. They told us to write a letter directly to the commitee asking them for an intervirew.

I have recently written the letter to the commitee explaining our situation and what we would like to achieve for the project. We are now waiting for a reply from them to see if we are able to have an interview sometime in the near future.
