Stretch - Rough cut

This is the latest version in the 1 minute documentary, I guess i tried to add more emotion by creating more 'realism', by showing footage of me recieving treatment and showing more graphs of my back and things to make it seem more, 'wow this actually happened' kind of thing.

Im think I'm close to finishing now, I still need to do colour corrector and all that jazz but footage and editing wise... definatley not far off now!

Knee Boarding!

Today I did that thing when you try something new! I went to JBSki with the surf society at my university and it was amazing!! I loved it! I managed to get to one corner before my lack of strength sent me straight into the FREEZING cold water. The wires you see pull everyone around (and pulls you face first into the water if you let it)

If anyone gets the chance to go here JUST DO IT! They spend maybe like 2 - 3 minutes telling you what to do, the rest you just find out for yourself and get on with your own thing. Luckily there were decent wake boarders who could easily avoid me when I fell in!

I wanna go every week now! Next week... I will make that turn!

Mockingjay part one Premiere!

These are the pictures I took from the London Premiere - This was such a good day! 

I WAS SO ANNOYED BY THIS SHOT!! I was about to get a shot of Jennifer
Lawrence when someone shoved their photo of katniss RIGHT IN THE WAY!
Is this ironic? 

Documentary - Rough cut and feedback

One Minute Documentary - Stretch

This is the first rough draft of the one minute documentary for my media course at university,

I gave it in yesterday for feedback from the group and from one of my tutors and she said the main thing I had to fix was sound and to put more emotion into the sequence. 

I'll admit, I was holding bak on the whole 'emotion' side of things because I have this thing when I dont want people to think i'm doing this because I want a pity party or something like that... And I always instantly presume that's what they're thinking. 

But yesterday when we were all showing what we had done people were showing clips of depression and self harm and I didn't judge the person (so why would anyone else?) 

So now i'm over that I need to find a way to create that lets people know about how I was in a wheelchair and contrast that to my recovery - the tutor said I was making my time in the wheelchair seem light hearts which it really wasn't :P

As for sound, I was going to add more diegetic sounds and lower the volume of the track so it isn't the only thing you hear.

But over all I am really pleased with the first draft!

I also want to do something with the footage at the end but not sure yet! Any feedback commments would be appreciated!
