Filming Diary 01 - Montage Sequence

Montage Sequence - filmed on Wednesday 22Nd January 2008

For the montage sequence we shot many people answering the question that we asked, which was, 'who is your favourite artist in the music industry?' and as an extra bonus some people also said why. We also filmed some key moments that we could implement into an outtakes option. We also had shots of Rosanne & Rasheeda dancing for the moments of the daily life/routines bit.

Some of the people that we asked were:
1. Amrit
2. Hamsa
3. Moe
4. Victoria
5. Jenni
6. Neleema
7. Zatashia + Nikita + Ekra
8. Lenroy
9. Tanisha's sister + Friends
10. d-r's sister + Friend
11. Rosanne + Sister
12. Ms. Jones
13. Mr. Williams
14. Amanda
15. Sarah + Friend
16. Habib + Hassan + Krishna
17. Shirley
18. Inderveer
19. Nimrat
20. Calvin
21. Rosanne
22. Michael + Dwayne + Friend
23. Lansell
24. Jyoti
25. Dhillon

All of these people that we asked are crucial to our documentary, as we are mainly targeting their age group and in some ways their ethnicity. However we asked some teachers, this could be perceived as showing the influence that the educator's have on the targeted audience (students) or how little. Most of these shots were taken as medium-close ups, this is because we need to see their body language from the shoulders to their head, in order to see their facial expressions, or in a certain perception to analyse how their body language creates links to the different type's of music. The filming we shot is shot in a white background as well as a college area, so this connotes the audience (students), it also connotes the realism technique that we implemented into our documentary, as the white background means that nothing has been added into it. The sound that was recorded with the interviews for the montage was of people talking, it was very noisy, this creates a theme of realism into our documentary, as it shows that we have not rehearsed or edited anything, an example of this in other documentaries is in 'Bowling For Columbine', when Michael Moore does an interview with the man who created south park, we hear all the car engines overpowering the interview, this is also to create the effect of realism.
