Regan, Tim and I were asked to go and film at Greenwich college. While it we were expecting it to take the whole day it was a short filming session because the college was so small and there wasn't a lot of content to film and include. We took 2 cameras with us so that we would get a large amount of footage despite the lack of activity going on. We started by filming an individual student controlling a horse. We got close ups and long shots of this same activity of the student adn the horse. We then filmed a larger group of students riding horses in one of the colleges main buildings. The covered space was a really nice place to film. We wanted to get a huge variety of shots so that we would have a lot to include. We filmed a lot of students faces, and horses feet to see what each participant was doing with the horse. The students are meant to be the focus of the video which is why we collected more footage of them. Afterwards we filmed a dog which is well known by all the students and teachers, which we thought would be a nice thing to include. Finally, we filmed the horses stables and their therapy area to show what the whole campus is like. This was so we would have a large amount of content for the final production.
We also got establishing shots from all over the campus to set the scene for people that haven't been to the college, or don't go there regularly. The purpose of this was to show off this impressive park of the Hadlow group.
When we got back we logged the footage that we had collected so that we had a log of everything, so it can be found later. We needed to do this while it was freshly done so that we have fresh memory of what we recorded.

Today we did work toward the presentation day videos. After we found out the groups yesterday, Debbie wrote up a list of the different subjects that we have to create videos for and split them up. In groups we then had to research these different subject so that we have information on the course and also have a vague idea about what sort of content we are going to film. I research the 'Access to H.E'  which is a progression course that allows people without the needed qualification to go to university. It provides them with the basic skills needed and gives them a qualification that is equivalent to 3 A levels. This is an academic course with very few practical elements which will make the content very limited. This means there will be very little input from this part of the course. I also research the Florists courses at Hadlow college, which is one of the most popular courses there. As this is much more practical, it will be a much more interesting part of the video. It...

This was the first day of filming. My group went out to collect footage from West Kent College. We weren't focusing on one specific part of the college, we were collecting establishing shots from all over the college. We started at the front of the college, so we could work our way through the college and finish up back at our classroom. We got a couple of panning shots at the front and then progressed to the canteen. The footage we collected wasn't that good, which makes we quite concerned for the rest of the production. A lot of it was wobbly or out of focus, so we might have to re-film to make it as good as possible. We got footage from the LRC as well which shows students working and chatting. We are trying to get as much different and interesting content from all over the college, which is why we aren't sticking to one area. This is also just stick footage that can be used by anyone. This will be useful for my classmates and college students in the footage. Afterward...
