For this assignment we were asked to make a short (3 min) video for students on how to make something healthy and affordable. We were put in to small groups of 3 or 4 and i was put with Ant, Kirsty, and Simon. We decided to go with a pasta dish as its something fairly cheap, and nothing to challenging for any new comer student cooks out there. Ant handily remembered that Sainsburys do hand outs for meals, with step by step instructions. So we decided to go with the menu for 'Go Green Pasta' and our aim was to try and present in in a visually clear, easy to follow, and understandable way.
We decided to shoot in Ants Kitchen at Waterside court as it was one of the easiest places for everyone to get to and find, and because Ants house mates were nice enough to let us film there! We used Ants JVC camera and a hired monopod as we didn't feel a tripod was necessary for the shots we wanted to get. We shot in chronological order as this would make the editing process easier later on. Kirsty filled the role of cook, and Simon, Myself and Ant took it in turns to film, and direct, whilst all having in puts when we thought of something.
Ant was pretty happy about editing it as he had access to final cut on his lap top, and it was more a case of putting the footage in order rather than creating edits, and as we had filmed in chronological order we figured it wouldn't take him to long. i would have been happy to edit, but as ant owned final cut it seemed logical to let him. The music we wanted to use originally was Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's but as we didnt have the right we couldn't keep it in the final edit. So we had some music from a Friend of James Harris's who had gotten the rights for Ant. It doesn't fit the film as well as our original idea but it works.
