Expanding our media convergence. Jack.

We have created a Twitter account to allow followers of the blog to be updated on our progress through a social media. This is effective as people, especially young people who are more likely to follow the blog, are keen users of social media so can easily be kept up to date with our on-goings.

Problems with filming. Jack.

One problem we had with filing was finding people who were willing to be a part of our film as the location was quite far away from Mill Hill. This therefore lead to us filming only two weeks before our deadline leaving us little time to edit.

Another problem we had filming was creating the illusion that more people were actually at our party scene than was there. We did this by filming shots of feet with people wearing different shoes in different shots. We also filmed less of the people themselves but more of individual shots to create a party scene e.g. someone smoking and someone cutting up cocaine.

One more problem we experienced was lighting when filming. As our setting was at a party, it had to be dark but we also needed to see what was going on in the film. Without any professional lighting and not being able to turn the lights on, we improvised by researching flashing lights on youtube and playing it and using our phone torches.
