Thursday, filming of myself in Nottingham

Well seeing as we had captured an abundance of footage of Edward it only seemed fair to give me a little of the limelight. We filmed a sequence of scenes in my flat on the mansfield road and in the arboretum which is an area of park across the road from my flat, this will be used allongside similare shots taken of Edward. We intend this to show the slight similarities and differences between the two of us. One of my favourites out of these comparitive shots is the guitar scene, where we have filmed Edward practicing during his lesson and back in Nottingham we were able to film me trying to play on the guitar hero, very poorly may I add but this is only because my amazing skills were slightly camera shy lol. When watching these two sequences together it will show the audience that edward is capable of learning a skill like any one else, although perhaps not to the same level.
I've so enjoyed my role as director, in the sense that I've had alot of control over the shots and the way the film day was conducted. This was such a personal project and I've definately found it difficult at times, as it really drew on my emotions but at the end of the day the emotion within it is the essense and the overall heart of the documentary.

I've learnt more about my relationship with Edward over the course of the first term than I could have imagined, primarily through crew members observations and comments and seconderily from reviewing the footage itself and seeing first hand how it appears from anothers perspective.
