Getting going with Stage 2
After completing all of our mini films and feeling very confident about our filming and editing skills, now it’s time to move onto Stage 2 of the Passions project – where we have to investigate a little bit of the history of our passion and interview older people who share the same passion as us. That should be easy… everyone loves Boxing, right?
The lads started by interviewing one of the elder statesmen of the Collyhurst and Moston club, Brian, who has had an over 30 years of involvement with the club.
Finished films, take a look…
The young men have completed their mini-films. They were asked to create a short biopics/mini-film, no more than a minute long that said something about themselves, their passion for boxing and what they think they get out of it. Every aspect of these films they have done themselves, from filming to writing to action and editing; a really impressive achievement in a few short weeks. Here’s a selection:
The final edit
The basketballers hard at work, finishing their edits.
And now for the editing…
Having filmed our material Jim and Alex are now showing us how to edit using Moviemaker, it’s a really simple programme and we are getting some good results. Chuks our coach is also learning how to edit.
Fine tuning
Frank’s doing some fine tuning on the audio and. with the music and noise of the guys training in the gym next door, he has to wear the headphones to hear his work.
Getting the right shot
Framing a shot is very important and here’s Dom getting a little guidance from Alex. I think they are going for a mid-shot.
This is Jack as Camera Operator and Jake as Director checking a shot.
Keep on editing…
This week the editing of mini films continues; below, Jack works away on his edit.
Filming continues
Some people’s films are very personal, about how they got into football, often through the interest of their Dad or Uncle or someone like that, whilst others are about the skills. This is a long shot of a long shot.
