Monday 11th October
This was our first day of filming. In the images below we are filming our first idea for our title sequence.We used silver coins to reiterate the idea of 'greed', also we used two large pieces of black card so that the coins we clear.
We used the 'stop motion' technique by recording one coin at a time to give the illusion that the coins were appearing alone writing our title 'I want it all'. Due to interruptions the camera was moved several times so it was not continuous therefore we had to re-film.
Tuesday 12th October
For our second attempt we filmed in a classroom to avoid the interruptions the occurred during the film try.
The image below shows me using shoe polish to make the coins clear and to make the queens face more prominent on camera as after watching it back the first time we established this was a problem.
We also used a singular larger piece of black paper as when the first attempt was captured on to Adobe the line between the two pieces of paper was very apparent.
This time we laid the coins out first, and took them away one by one to make the process faster.
Wednesday 13th October
I filmed our first interview with Leanne Hill, 17. The interview took place in her bedroom so that the mise-en-scene could include some of the thing that she has spent her money on. However we were advised to re-film because the lighting was not bright enough and the poster of the 'Jonas Brothers' in the background did not reinforce the idea of greed and spending money.
Friday 15th October
Me and Kate went over to Liverpool City Centre to film vox-pops as we thought there would be a large number of people there. We filmed a number of people answering our two questions 'what would you buy if you won the lottery?' and 'what word comes to mind when you think of greed?'. Unfortunately, the microphone was not working so we bought new batteries, this did not improve the quality. The wind was strong and due to no microphone many of the vox-pops filmed that day could not be used.
Tuesday 19th October
We went out again to filmed vox-pops however this time in Liscard shopping centre, this time we only filmed two people, it started to heavily rain and the camera's battery ran out so we had to back away. Thus meaning we would have to go and film vox-pops for a third time.
On this day I also went over to Liverpool Community College to film an interview with Mike Whitmore, ex-banker and teacher of banking. The college had booked a interview room for me to conduct the interview, which was very helpful however it also meant there the mise-en-scene was not very strong and did not really reiterate the idea of 'money' and 'banking'. We could not re-film as this was he only free time, however we thought the interview was good enough to include as the content of it was strong. This is shown below :
Furthermore the interview with the father was filmed today, it was filmed in the child's bedroom, to illustrate all the things a child has, for example the mise-en-scene includes toys and a bunk-bed. Cutaways of the child playing where also filmed on this day.
Tuesday 26th October
The filming of the grandmother took place, it was filmed in her living room, with good lighting, clear sound and a mise-en-scene of things she spend her money one, for example ornaments.
Wednesday 3rd November
We filmed a number of cutaways today, they include a number of hands grabbing a large pile of monopoly money off a white background, this reinforces the idea of greed and fast consumption of money. We could use this as a cutaway between interviews.
We also filmed a game of monopoly as it is all about money, greed and property however this cutaway did not make it in to the final product as we found we did not need it.
Friday 5th November
Today we filmed cutaways for the interview with father using a Argos magazine, we zoomed in to appropriate objects which would fit in with what is being spoken about. We also filmed the title sequence for a final time, this again did not work as it did not look professional so we changed our idea.
Thursday 11th November
Today will filmed our new title sequence idea, which involved drink,tablets ( to resemble drugs), money, and chocolate. We used all of these things because it means we have included all of the topics we address in our running order.
It involves hands coming in, taking the drink, taking some of the tablets ( implying consumption) putting the drink back, taking and eating some of the chocolate and then grabbing at all of the money revealing the title which is on a black background saying 'I want it all' . The filming was not smooth, so we filmed it again which really worked at looked professional therefore we don't have to film it again.
Monday 15th November
We re-filmed the interview with the teenager, this time, the poster and the laptop where taken away, however we did do a cutaway with the laptop later on.
We also filmed a cutaway of someone peeling an orange, to use during the interview with the Grandmother, when she said ' we appreciated our apple and orange' .
