Our original shooting day for the ENG was the 27th of January, but when we got to the doctor’s office to start filming, we were told that we couldn’t film. Our additional shooting day is the 9th of March so we have time to get another GP to interview.

We had another production meeting yesterday. We talked about ideas for our opening and closing sequences, finalising what sub-group was doing what and what we needed to do. We talked about how we were going to get our message across in the opening without giving too much information. We thought that maybe we could make the logo for “Healing Roots” incorporate tree roots. We also discussed our contingency for the ENG, as James has said that he isn’t entirely sure about the acupuncturist. If that doesn’t go ahead, we already have a contact, Suzanne Mahon, who is a yoga master.

Day 16. 16-01-12 I know I keep missing days, but bear with me…

I’m gonna do the generic what’s-in-your-bag blog post soon & actually plan out some posts to start posting regularly, not just for the 365

In our initial production meetings, we settled on the idea of doing an ENG of an interview with Suzanne about her process and an interview with a GP about alternative medicines. As our idea wasn’t liked, we changed it to include an interview with an acupuncturist instead. I think that the initial idea would have worked as it was visually pleasing and the subject matter was interesting. We are, however, doing an interview with an acupuncturist and a GP. I think it would be good to keep Suzanne on stand-by as contingency, but I don’t think the rest of my group share my views!

Our ENG filming date is coming up so in the next post I will research some professional interview techniques.

I researched some opening and closing squences of television programmes for our production meeting tomorrow:
Game of Thrones opening
Fringe opening
True Blood opening
