Finally, my blogging seems to be fairly consistent or regular, for the time being at least. My reasoning behind this is to do with the fact that I hadn’t touched my blog in over a month; two months really. I’ve let my stories and experiences build up, now I can begin to relay them on here.

Last week I made another journey back to that certain special school in Gloucester, Bishops’ College. This journey was in relation to two new promotional films that they’d commissioned Keyone Productions to produce. In case you can’t recall, or you haven’t read one of the previous posts, in July Keyone Productions produced a short promotional film for the school; it was a highlights reel of what had gone on during their Year 7 Induction week. The film got a warm reception and as a result the school commissioned 3 further videos to be produced throughout the 08 / 09 academic year.

Two videos were shot on Friday, one was another highlights stream (for the school’s anti-bullying day), the other was an interview/documentary on the school children’s perspective of bullying. I started work on the post production for the highlights video on Saturday, the first cut was finished on Sunday evening. Whilst the feedback for the first cut was good, the school requested that a number of changes and additions be made; such as the addition of titles to narrate some of the shots.
