Narrative Timelines
The crew used their individual narrative timelines as a platform from which to participate in interviews. The interviews were shot in the garden at Hyper (in the freezing cold)!
This was the first real experience of conducting interviews and delivered some excellent results. Getting hands-on with two professional cameras and sound equipment gave the crew vital experience to help us through the next three days of shooting.

Pre-Production Session 2
Today's session was our chance to spend some more time crunching through the pre-production process.
Time was spent completing the personal narrative timelines and from them developing short pieces of writing. These will be used later in the production stage.
The group then decided on what would be the best questions to ask each other in the interviews in order to draw out the best responses.
The group also discussed the options for interviewing other people within the community and from the short list we decided on a final shooting schedule.

Movement Arts with Nic Hobson
Nic moved the crew through their paces today with some interesting activities. The focus and commitment was fantastic as different elements of their individual experience were explored as a collective.
Firstly a series of freeze frames were created and played out in sequence to create the beginnings of a narrative. Then Nic encouraged the group to do some improvisation using some of the Blog content as a reference. Finally the various different elements were put together with a focus on performing to the film camera. The final performance revolved around the constant feature of a sofa at centre stage.
The results were really inspiring and quite moving to watch.
This gives us a great spring board into the film element for the rest of the week.
Well done people!
