A-level production

 Hello!! Welcome to the second blog post of the week and this week blog post I will be  discussing the production process for my portfolio project. Last week we met with our teacher to do a little check in on how we’re doing on our portfolio projects. I expressed to her that I haven’t interviewed the remainder of the subjects and I also shot some b-roll footage. In this post, I’ll be discussing my stylistic choices for my b-roll. 

I decided shoot my b-roll for my Documentary project for several reasons and I also gained immense inspiration. Also, I wanted to collect as much footage as I could just in case if I needed it for editing purposes . 

The first reason I came across this choice was I was walking to my class the previous week, and I noticed the AICE Spanish hallway. The hallway is decorated with Latin American artist along with informational facts about their life and their flag that they represent. I thought this was very symbolic and match the overall theme of my documentary well. Because of this, the following week, I shot this b-roll.

As a result of filming the production process this week,  I feel like I have shown immense improvement throughout my last media studies project, which was the AS level short film. I really struggled with time management and finding the time to film.  I felt as if like this production was a perfect opportunity for me to improve my skills and I’m already seeing that along the journey.
