Production log 2

Production log 1

 What progress did you make since your previous entry?

Since my previous entry, I have interviewed the two main people for my documentary. One took place o Wednesday through Skype, with the editor-in chief of Anime UK, which went pretty well. For this interview I decided to screen record the conversation, but unfortunately the sound didn't get picked up form it, but I did also set up a tri-pod behind me, which captured the interview. I think when it comes to editing, I will try and put the screen record and the sound from the other camera together, so that it creates to different perspectives of the interview. Overall the Skype interview lasted for 20min. The next interview was on  Thursday, which was with Amber who is a cosplayer.  from this interview I also got a good about information on her opinion of my topic, which was good, as both interviews came out with different opinions, which will be beneficial for my documentary, as it gets to here both sides, in a sense. Overall I am happy with the footage that I received, and I can now start putting it all together. Also this week I did start importing my footage from the MCM expo and finding videos for my montage section.

What logistical challenges did you face and how did you overcome them?

I didn't face any logistical problems this week, as both interviews went smoothly and I was able to get their different opinions on my topic, which is great. Plus I am happy how they both came out and I am glad, that they both gave detailed answers to my questions.

What technical challenges did you face this week and how did you overcome them?
There wasn't really any technical problems, besides not picking up any sound during the Skype interview via screen recording, but other than that, everything is going quite well to be honest. Also before I had the Skype interview, I did test out different positions to put the tri-pod in and sorted out the lighting a bit, so that when it came to recording, the camera could pick up both mine and the interviewees face.

What targets do you aim to achieve before your next entry?

Over the next week I will be mainly editing and getting everything into the right order. There will hopefully be no more filming, as I have got everything I need and I am happy with what I have. So hopefully by the end of this week, it will be nearly done, which would then give me enough time to make any changes if necessary. But I hope it doesn't come to that, as I am happy with what I have, it's just making it all flow together and coming to the conclusion of the topic.
