Filming

These are the pictures of my group filming and editing. A few issues occured during the filming like not having the correct props to film for cutaways.

In todays lesson,we created a tite storyboard that will help us when we are creating our title sequence. We drew the frames for the interviews that we were going to do and included the positioning, the eye-line and the mise-en-scene in them so we knew what to do when we got to the interviews and we also created a list of questions for each of the interviews that we had.

Research for documentary

We conducted both primary and secondary research for the documentary that covered what interviews that we can get, what ones we do have and what archive material that we can include in our documentary.

Research for the documentary

Video games

Primary Research:

We looked into getting interviews with a variety of people such as;

· Game

· HMV

· A and J’s Retro Gaming Cafe

· Psychologist

· Doctor

· Parents

· Quiggins Level Up Retro gaming store

· Grainger Game

· Gamestation

· Scythe and Teacup gamer cafe

· Power Play

Interviews

Interview with Quiggins Level Up Retro Gaming store

Interview with A and J’s gaming Cafe

Interview with Scythe and Teacup gamer Cafe

Interview with Parent

Interview with video game players

Locations to film when looking for our locations we had to look into what was relevant to the subject and making sure it fitted with the documentary, so we looked at filming in Liscard, Birkenhead and Liverpool outside Video game shops such as outside HMV, Game, A and J’s gaming cafe as these are all relevant to the documentary as the mise-en-scene needs to link in with the documentary and make sure that it is relevant so doing it outside games shops is perfect.

Secondary Research

For our secondary research we looked at a variety of things for our archive material as things such as footage if video games, articles of the history of video games, facts and figures of video games.
