Today we went to the Harlow Bowl, we made contact before we went, to give them a reminder that we are coming, when we got the Harlow Bowl we talked to the people and asked them if we could get permission but said we would need to write up a letter and be specific about what we need to do.

Today we went to Harlow Quasar to do a risk assessment and also got shown around the building of the different areas like panic room and game room and also the Quasar area and had a walk around it, telling us about it, like the rules of the game, We also asked some questions about if there is any flashing lights, so it would not cause epilepsy for people watching the video, and he replied that there wasn't any flashing lights in the area, apart from some lights that spin around.

As a group we discussed the locations, we also reviewed the risk assessment guidelines and location recess and also finished our job role profile proposal.

This week we continued with the primary and secondary research. On Monday we also did 1 to 1 reviews with people who have special needs or are disabled in the college and got good feedback from the people on what they would find appealing in a promotional video about Essex local offer.

On Wednesday we did video and audio editing, we was tasked with adding audio and a voice over to a clip we was provided by Dave, while editing i did encounter problems like not having enough time to do a voice over so i had to use someone else's voice over in my group for the project.

Today i continued with the primary and secondary research and started to finish off little bits and expanding parts but i still need to finish off somethings before next week before the deadline for this part of the unit.

Today we finished off research we did yesterday when we where talking to people who have special needs in the college and got good feedback from this.

In the afternoon we was task to add sound effects and a voice over the clip we was provided by Dave. The problems i encountered when editing was some of the sound effects was to loud i other came this by making the audio more quieter. The other problem i over came was not being able to voice over due to my iPad having no battery and i over came this by using someone in my group who already did a voice over.

Interview summary
Today me, Jack and Tinashe talked to some people down in english area with people who have special needs like autism, we talked to them about the benefits of being with the essex local offer, but a few of the people we interviewed didn't know any services from the local offer and didn't understand what SEND meant and also had a lack of knowledge of the topic and this would be great to talk about what SEND is in the promotional video while showing the Essex Local Offer activities for people who are disabled. While interviewing them we found it hard to get detailed answers from them and only got short answers which will be difficult to expand upon when writing up and most of them didn't understand the questions we were asking them and we had to explain to them what some of the things meant to them.

The feedback we received about what type of things they would like in the promotional video was a few on them liking the idea having a pop song in the background, but some said they wouldn't like it if it had music and only wanted to focus on the people in the video instead of the music.

When interviewing one person they would like a promotional video if the the music in the promo was pop or upbeat to make the video happy and appealing to him. The other person we interviewed said it would be better if the main focus of the promotional video was the people who have special needs, and let them talk about the activities and why it benefits them in a positive way, while showing the activities in the video.

Today we got into our groups and started doing primary research and we already started to get ideas for the locations to film and started to gather information about the places like contact details like phone number and email so we can get in contacted with them about the filming that may or may not take place at that location.

Today we did tongue twisters so we could improve our confidence when we read and also giving feedback to the person to help them improve overall. In the after noon we did recording and everyone in the group had to present and everyone did then we took some b-roll footage so we would edit it together in Adobe Premiere, we did the recording so we could boost our confidence when filming and editing.

Today we continued with the secondary research and we also had a visitor come in to talk about the essex local offer and what they do and what the different types of activities they do.

# data[].attributes.body
Today i did secondary research, i researched different Local Offers around England to get research about the different types of support and leisure activities and how they support different people who have different special needs.

Today we did test shoots for interviews and used a wide range of skills in the video to make it look appealing like using rule of thirds, to make it visually appealing to watch.

But overall the whole thing could of been improved because we only used 2 angles and should've made the audio more clearer and also should've talked more loudly when interviewing the person. But this is just a test to experiment with the camera to grow more confidence while being a camera operator.

.I could majorly improve my skills for the next task i'm given in the future by using a lot more angles because it would make it more appealing and also using proper lighting in the scenes to make it stand out and make it look professional and making the audio sound better. Below in the link to the footage we captured and edited using Adobe Premiere.
