The question is how we go about Project brief 3, and we have started planning for this by hiring equipment, and putting together themes for the interviews, and then forming them into questions.
The equipment that we will be hiring for this shoot will be:
-Camera x 2
-Tripod
-Sound recorders x 2
-Spot microphone
-Clip on camera (to put on bike)
Ways to film:
-Filming interviews
-The interviews will take place with various people doing this event, and they will be held when they take their breaks at cafes etc.
-Attached microphone and camera to bike to follow the journey of the rider, when we cant be there. The camera could be facing the riding to be a more personal shot, and then spun around so it is filming where they are riding.
-Film them riding past (we will be on the footpath or in the car).
-Follow them in the car and film them.
-While in the car we could shoot the scenery. Just take shots of the road, document the surroundings in which they are riding.
-This could be of the ships, cafes, the bay, the road, other cyclists, people in parks. It is a Sunday, and we want to capture the whole event, and what goes on around it.
-We could make it more personal, as charity is already personal to people, especially when riding for a cause.
-Do we focus on just one main character and then have other people and their stories in the background? Or do we make everybody the same?
footage of someone on their phone using the app.
Ways in Korsakow:
-Possibly work with a non-narrative system, the story will allow for this, as it could be effective to have it all integrated in together.
-Have themes for the snu’s.
-Group multiple videos together with the same classification or names.
-Do we need to specifically have a start sun and an end snu?
-To treat the project kind of like an onion, peeling back the layers until we get to know the people. Kind of like the change of seasons one.
-Is there a way to combine videos so that they show in the first half and then others show in the second, but still have them randomly scattered?
-Bridging videos
-Its a journey, so it isn’t all random. Something happens so that the user knows they are into the next part.

-Slideshows – still shots
-Start with a map of the bay, and then in each section have a zoomed in map for the background, showing where they are.
