Afterwards, we finish our script for the documentary which is a good thing because it will help where we will be going with our documentary. We disscussed that the voice-over will be done at the near the end when the editing is going. The entire script is on a post in the blog.
When we first planning for the schedule, Adele would not be available when filming after school all week. Therefore, we need to arrange on filming lunchtimes and class time to film. However, there are solutions to the problem. I can film after school for some scenes while Adele can work on her animation in her spare time which is good.
Tuesday
During classtime, we were disscussing who are we going to interview for our documentary and so far we have thought of the school councillor. For the rest of the lesson, we continue our research for interviewers such as potential porfessor at Griffith since it is not too far from school.
On Tuesday afternoon, I filmed some of my shots as well as Adele's to have some footages done. The filming went great as we got some footages for the documentary and I don't think there were any problems on that day.
However, there was a one change I had to make while filming. Originally, one of my shot has the lonely girl on the left side of the frame but I change to have her on the right which was not a big deal.
We also send an email to the school councillor to see if she wants to intervew us and we wait for a reply as we wanted to start interviewing her.
Wednesday
On Wednesday, we filmed more footages during class time and there wasn't any major issues.
Sometime during class, we tried to call to Griffith to find if there were any professors willing to be interviewed. The staff told us that they will call her back the next day when they found someone.
The councillor has replied and told us that she is only available on Wedensday, Thursday and Friday. Therefore, we decided to interview on this Friday and email her hopefully that she is available then.
Thursday
Film during classtime and went well. There wasn't any updates with Griffith yet and the councillor haven't replied yet. We also realised that we were not ready to interview anybody yet becuase we haven't finalise our questions yet. Therefore, we emailed her again asking if Wednesday morning tea is good.
Friday
During class, Mr Andrews taught us how to use the microphone (RODE) properly and here was his instruction.
Weekend:
During the weekend, I looked at videoscribe and Powertoon to test it out which animation software will be easier for me to use.
More detailed post on animation will be coming soon.
I also watch a good Youtube video link on how to prep an interview in which I send to Adele to help for our interview.
Write about how to prep for an interview

More details on interviews on another post.
Reflection for the week:
This week went well in terms of filming as we started filming some B-roll footages that we needed. In terms of organising interviews, we are hoping that our email to the interviewees we want will be able to be interviewed. There were changes made from shot list to film because there were circumstances. A detailed post about will be posting soon.

During class, Mr Andrews taught us how to use the microphone (RODE) properly and here was his instruction.
- To test if the microphone works, switch the top until on the line and leave the bottom switch to 0
- Then on menu, go to sound recording and click on manual and ask the interviewee to speak to see where the sound level goes to (which lower than red is prefferable)
