This week’s tutorial was once more focused on our project brief and presenting our ideas to our tutor. Most of the class time was spent on finding footage of protests and rallies to help enshrine our contention. Recently, we interviewed an activist for ‘no room for racism’ to add some talking heads to our project brief. Asking individuals to help is something our group has grown in confidence with: initially we were afraid to ask for help from secondary sources. Using talking heads allows our narrative story to have validity — people like this do exist.

Another portion of this tutorial reflection was spent concluding all our filming. Finishing filming is a very satisfying aspect of this week, being the most time consuming aspect of this project, we can finally start editing and finalising our project brief. Throughout the filming process I personally learnt many things regarding camera angles and acting — things I have never really experienced before.

Although the last few tutorials have been roughly aimed at doing the same thing, ‘seeing where we are’, it has been a great opportunity to check in with group members and our tutor to confirm that we are still on the right path, ensuring the best possible outcome.
