Documentary: Tutorial Feedback (18/03/16)

As part of the pre-production for the documentary unit, my group recently had a tutorial with Helen to help develop our work and show her how we are doing.

TUTORIAL FEEDBACK

Prior to the tutorial I did a little more research on the history of allotments and prepared some screen graphic tests (which can be found here). As a group we started working on an outline. In this outline we answered some questions: Who?, What?, When?, Why? & How?

I also did some additional research into The Windmill Allotments, and contacted them. I found that they had a special Veg Box scheme that allowed locals to purchase their allotment produce on a weekly basis.

During the tutorial we told Helen about our plans and some possible leads we had found. From this we develop a few ideas and tasks to work on over the Easter break. By now we had also decided that our story focus was going to be allotments.

As a result of this tutorial, my tasks are:

  • To begin working on the script
  • To carry out some research into a local allotment (The Windmill Allotments)
  • To look at finding some good characters
  • To recce some possible locations
Saskia has to look at the history/background context of Allotments, and the psychological benefits of growing your own. Cheyenne has to focus on the wildlife/environmental benefits, and do some research into The Soil Association.

The next step is to carry out all of this work and prepare for the shoot week and script submission after the Easter break.
