Today in the lesson at coleridge, we discussed how we felt about the fact we were "fired" from the work experiance placement.
I expressed my views to nick and the group, my main negative feedback / point was about the lack of comunication between the picture house and us (the students). Also i believe the organisation of the whole event was dreadful, and definatly could of been improved a great deal.
Other than the negative points, there were some positive points such as the promo video which myself, Ash and Dave have been working hard on during the work experiance time. we felt that this work has been the most rewarding whereas the work at the picture house was rather plain and boring, for example handing out leaflets to the public was a very simple task, whereas others in the group had the chance to edit podcasts and video footage, but i guess on the other hand we did get the chance to edit / produce the promo video, but still the variety of jobs available overall was very very slim indeed, and as a result of this, it left many of us without jobs, and because of the simple fact we didnt have any work to do the people at the picture house decided to sack us due to their silly mistakes! such as the organisation or should i say the lack of!
Overall this work experiance so far has been a very stressfull and confusing time for both me and the group, but it has given me an insight into what to expect in the future from possible companies or clients within the media industry.
I have also learnt that in the future i will have to live up to it and change the situation for the better and make what you can out of tricky situations such as this work experiance placement.
(Also due to the meeting today in class we did not have any time to complete the promo video, so when we next have some free time down at coleridge we will try and get it complete asap)

Film Festival -Hayden
So far I've done around 28 hours - this was all i needed to do as last year me and Sam CW got in on shooting a film for an education board, knocking way over 70 hours off as we worked all day and often though nights for 6 days.
However the time I've spent at the festival wasnt bad - the lack of jobs to do got a little boring, I'd be asking if things needed doing cus we'd been sitting about for such a long time. flyering was probably the best part as we got to go outside but recording and editing the podcasts was okay too.
The podcasts involved talking mainly about events and film synopsis's, giving info on the directors and actors. At one stage i was asked to go into a presentation for some long road film students where i recorded the whole things audio. It will eventually cut down at put onto the film festival website..

De-briefing on the work experience
Write a formal e-mail of 200-300 words to pete in which
1. You outline what you feel dissatisfied with in terms of provision by the Festival
2. what you feel you could have done to get more out of the experience
You will need to use your 'out-of-college' e-mail account for this.
Provided we get good feedback on the hours you have put in, we have negotiated with the Junction to make up the work experience time to the required number of hours with a project under their direction later this year.
We have also been offered the opportunity for any of you who wish to do so to go to edit materials for subsequent use on the Festival website in your own time. If you wish to be involved in this you should e-mail Matt Waters directly. This can count towards work experience hours.

General work experiance
Today i did not work at the festival as i was helping my cousin Matthew with his filming work.
Heres what he was asked to do:
He was asked by his boss at the Haverhill sports and lesiure centre to film an acceptance speach for the upcoming sports awards event this sunday. The person that he was asked to film / give the certificate to was a woman called Barbara Levrett, whom is a cycling gold medalist. Also matts boss wanted him / me to take a few photos for the local Haverhill Echo Newspaper.
Due to the fact that my cousin did not have any recording equipment or tripod he was unable to record the acceptance speach, so therefore that is why he decided to ask me to help him film it today.
The day begun when he picked me up at 9am, we then traveled to Haverhill sports and lesuire center where Matt collected the flowers, cheque and certificate ready to hand over to Barbara. After doing this we then drove to a nearby village where Barbara lives. we arrived at her house at around 11ish, and was all set up and ready to record the speach by 11.30am.
During the first shoot of the acceptance speach Barbara was a little nervous and messsed up her lines, so therefore we had to re-take the video again, on the 2nd video it went well.
Eventually on the 2nd time round we got a perfect video shot, and it lasted just under 1 minute. Once we had succesfully filmed the acceptance speach we decided to ask Barbara to stand outside of her house for the photos. (for the Haverhill Echo). We handed Barbara the flowers and her certificate and asked her to stand in front of her flowers whilst wearing her gold medal aswell. We decided to use that back drop / background as the flowers worked well with barbaras cycling costume and made her stand out in the photo.
Once we had completed the photos and videos, we packed away my equipment and we headed off back to the lesuire centre. Once we got back there it was nearly 2pm. my cousin told his boss that he had done the shoot and was just going to come back to mine so we could edit the footage and photos ready for sunday.
When we got back to my house after getting some dvds from sainsburys (DVD-R'S) (for placing the video footage onto dvd) it had gone passed 3pm. We straight away set to work on editing the video and photos.
We first had to take the footage off the camera and place it onto the computer. This task was a simple drag and drop task and did not take more than 5 mins for us to do.
Once we had the footage onto the desktop we dragged and dropped the video into adobe premier elements, where i then edited the footage into a suitable sequence length which was under 1 minute long. I also needed to edit out a few audio glithces such as volume levels going up and down needed leveling out and to make sure it was all at the same volume.
Once i had completed the audio i started editing the actual video footage, which was a harder task as i needed to edit the levels of contrast and brigtness exactly and that was quite hard as the sunsine was changing angles in the shot when clouds passed by etc, but i eventually got it done.
When i completed the project i burnt it to DVD for my cousin to take to the awards event on sunday, i also burnt a 2nd copy for my cousin to pass over to Barbara.
I also transferred th editited photos onto my cousins laptop for him to email to the Haverhill echo, to hopefully be published in there next sunday / monday.
Overall this task was very time consuming but was very fun to do, and i gained much experiance from it, such as people skills and organisational skills have improved a great deal from doing this task, we were working from 9- 5ish today on this task. (8 hours)
Here are some stills from the video and also the images / photos for the Newspaper:

day 4 - james - second day
today i got in a 9.30 and started editing podcasts which was fun to do because it was the first creative thing i've been asked to do. i did that for a whil and then went with hayden to record us reading a few of the reivews of the films. that was trickier than it sounds because the reviews weren't exactly of the greatest standard. it took quite a while. after recording that with hayden i did some more editing for the podcasts until i had lunch at one.
i then came back and stayed till 4.30. in that time i carried on doing more editing on the pdcasts. the day was much better organised and i had something to do all day which was good. the first day was really slow but after the first couple of hours today it flew by. i'm really starting to enjoy it, more so than before anyway.

Film festival (Promo Video)
Monday 21st September
Today I arrived at Long Road College, at 8am to collect the hard drive with the archive footage on from Nick. I needed the hard drive with the archive footage on, so i could import the footage into our promo video for the festival.
Once i had found the Hard drive and collected all that i needed from the media office at Long road, i then traveled to Coleridge, to start my day editing with Ash.
I arrived at Colerdige at 9.10am and soon got too work on the promo video.
It wasnt long after we started editing that we found a problem, that problem being that the archive footage is mainly in black and white, and we needed coulour footage for the promo video, but me and ash soon over came this problem by searching futher into the hard drive. Where we found some colour footage of archive, from around 1970ish.
Once we found the footage we needed to place into the windows on the promo video we got to work on editing all the seaperate videos int o black and white and we also editined the contrast and brightness on some of the shots, as some for example were too bright or dark due to the sun glare, so we editied the contrast on them shots.
Once we touched up the footage and also chose the final archive to place into the windows, we started to edit paths around the archive footage ready to be put into the windows on each of the shots.
The only other pronblem we faced was when we exported the video to after effects from final cut the videos were not propperly de-interlaced so the videos had a double vison type look to them. But this problem was soon solved when we simply de-interlaced all the clips by highlighting them all and pasting on the "de-interlace" effect to them all.
Overall today went well, and we done what we possibly could in order to make the project as close to complete as possible. We will continue our work on the promo video on wednesday at 9am when dave will be with me and ash to complete the promo video for the festival. (Or though it may not be published before the festival is over i still believe that this video will contribute strongly to my blog / portfolio and the work experiance, and will also benifit the film festuval organisers as they can use this for future screenings, also this video can be manipulated and changed to suit other projects such as the one set by matt on sunday, which was to create a video or booklet or anything else we can think of which will show future sponsers what they can get out of sponsering the festival in Cambridge, and also to sell the festival to them.
Here are some photos i took of todays editing session at Coleridge:
The hours i worked today was from 8-12ish.
The plan for tomorrow is for me to go to the film festival to get more hours work experiance done.
my chosen hours are from 13.00-18.00 ( i would of done the earlyer time slot, but i cannot do the early hours as i will be filming a sports awards ceromoney with my cousin tomorrow at his univerity / college, i will be doing this in the morning at around (9-12ish).
so therefore will not be available for the early time slots. (9.00-13.00)
so instead i will do (13.00 - 18.00)
Shown below are the hours ive worked so far for work exp...
12hrs + 12hrs for channel four work experiance = 24hours

Monday 21st - Philippa Price
Today was my longest day so far, I started at 10 and finished at half past 5 but noted it down as 5. For the majority of my shift, I continued with the same podcast which I was working on on Friday. This was because someone else had taken over completing it but still had not finished so it was easier for me to continue with it as I knew what I was working with.
This task was as easy as it was on Friday but it is still taking a long time to edit and it is still unfinished. The good news is that it is almost finished and I think that with just a little more work on it, it could be done within another day.
When it came to about 4, someone else needed to use the computer to work on something of his own so I then went on to work with Alex and the podcast he was working on. The podcast was one in which Alex had recorded himself and it consisted of him reading out a review of a film which was shown at the Picture House. For this task we basically were just editing the recording and as this wasn't a long piece of recording, it didn't take long and managed to get completed this evening.

Friday 18th - Philippa Price
Today was a short day for me, as I was only able to work from 10 til 1. However, during my morning at the Film Festival I managed to get very busy editing. The piece of work which I needed to edit was a podcast. This podcast was of a debate about scientific and non-scientific views and the conversation was generally around AIDS. The podcast consisted of one interviewer/host who would ask questions to the directors of some of the science/creation films and also some specialists in the areas discussed.
I found this task quite easy because editing is the area in which I enjoy the most. Even though I found it easy, still meant that I faced challenges. Such as, I had to edit about one hour worth of recording, down to 10 minutes long. This was a challenge was because it was hard to determine which parts of the podcast were more important than the rest and how to get the best out of what I had.
In the end I didn't have time to finish it, as it was a long task to complete but once my shift was over, someone else took over.
I don't know as of yet if it is finished so I can't add a link to it.

Day 5
Today i turned up at about half 8, apparently we were meant to receive an e-mail last night that i didn't get, but oh well i was there on time anyway. We talked to Bill and Matt briefly about what was going on, then we had to write on hundreds of postcards about a film that was being shown with a Q&A after. We then got to give out the postcards to people in the street. We started in the Grand Arcade, and got told off by some security guards. So we left and handed them out elsewhere. We then went back and Me, Matt and Tara tried out Ushering, ripping the tickets and telling people where to go, pretty easy. We then got to cut some more secret spy event things out and then go give them out, too. So we did that, then we came back and had to move boxes and boxes of the picturehouse leaflets. Then we filled up a couple of the shelf things near the entrance, and then i went home at about 3.
Third Day - Tara
On my third day at the picturehouse, I did a lot of various things as explained below, and worked 9 - 5, bringing my hours up to 24 for 3 days at the moment. I arrived at 9 ready for the meeting and so Alie Matt L, Tim, Matt H and I all sat down where Bill explained what he wanted us to do today.
The first task was to hand out some promotional leaflet about a film on today, called Losing Balance. As you can see from the picture, we also had to write out what the film was on the back of the each leaflet including a Q+A with the director afterwards, this took us about 20 minutes to write on all of the leaflets (there were a lot of them!). We then had to distribute them around town to various people in order to get them interested about the film and perhaps go and see it.
This took our group of 5 about an hour to distribute all the leaflets until we had finally given them all out. First we began in town near the market square where it was busiest, then we moved down to near Sainsburys near bridge street and managed to distribute them all - and people did seem quite interested overall.
Our next task was to cut out the 'Secret Spy' event leaflets and distribute these around town once again, we had roughly 100 leaflets distributed between five of us, and our main area was Anglia Ruskin University near the grafton centre, after this we then walked through the grafton centre and onto near the pathway which town and the grafton centre mix, with people coming in and out of both shopping areas. We found this part to be the most busiest and also managed to get rid of our leaflets which was a good sign as it meant people were interested.
After this Matt L, Tim and I cleaned the picturehouse in general, moving leaflets and cleanings the posts for the film festival delegates. After this we were then asked to move boxes containing new picturehouse brochures (out in october) to a storeroom with 28 september written on the boxes. We also added the october brochures to a few of the racks inside the picturehouse for people to pick up, and to promote the films too.
Me and Matt L also did about 20 to 30 minutes of ushering by the 3 cinema screens for the film 'The Butterfly Tattoo' which according to the amount of people seemed very popular. We also helped alex with a review he had to read out loud and create a podcast for. We also edited a 'Science on screen debate' to around 15 minutes from about half an hour, it was originally an hour long but Philippa had been editing this previously and had managed to cut it down quite a bit which helped.
Overall, my third day was a mix of things to do but I still found it fun, I started at 9 and left at 5 today.
CFF day three Sam C-W
Day Three in the Picture House.
i got into the picture house at 1pm and was given a memory card with recordings of three interns telling you what the highlights of the day are going to be and what else you can see. I sat and listend to them in the folder to find out which were useable and which were rubbish, i put them in 2 seperate folders. I then put all of the well recorded, good audio files into garage band (there was about 10) i then listend to them all again to find out which one was which and labeld them. Once they were labeld i trimmed them down and evened up the levels as the guys voice was a little unclear because he had the mic to far away and the girls voice was much louder and clearer. When i had done all that i could easily put them in chronalogical order so it made sense. I then made some finnishing touches and exported it as an MP3 and sent it out as another podcast.
After i'd done that i got on with finnishing Matt and Loz's spy podcast. They had done all the recording and some editing, i just had to touch up some editing then export it. Once it was exported i had to put both the spy audio and the other audio i edited earlier into garage band, i took the first ten seconds and last ten seconds, got rid of the middle and put the spy audio in its place, this made it seem as the festival podcast had been hacked. this was for the secret agent feature the festival has this year

Day One - Alexander
I started my work experience on thursday the 17th of September. I arrived in Cambridge town center at nine o'clock, and luckily saw Bill walking down the footpath with a copious amount of electrical equipment under his arms. I decided that rather than wonder around shops for an hour I would start my work experience an hour early. I went up to him and offered to join him to the picture house and help, at which point I was rewarded with a torrent of cases full of recording equipment, cameras, leads and pretty much in his own words 'everything we'll need for the festival'.
At the door of the Picturehouse we were accompanied by Tim and we made our way into the building. We sat down for a shot while before we were again presented with something to do. We were asked to hole punch and attach lanyards to all of the identity cards for the important people at the festival. To our great disappointment we were informed that we would not be receiving a lanyard.
After this almost everyone had arrived, we sat around for quite a while before a few of us asked for something to do. We were given copies of 'Film Festival Daily' and asked to distribute them around the town as best we could by giving them to shops/people. I walked with James for most of the time and we managed to give out all of the papers after around just over an hour. We found that it's very difficult to hand them out, but often if you get the words 'Film Festival' out as fast as possible, people's interest seems to grow and they often take the leaflets/papers when they realise what you're offering is more interesting than most of the things given out free on the street. There is large public interest in the Film Festival, so it raised my spirits to discover this. Subsequently, I found myself saying the words 'Excuse me, are you interested in the Cambridge Film Festival?' a very large number of times that day.
When we finally got back we were almost immediately thrown into to helping the others baggage the VIP bags. Eight of us were split into two groups of four. Our group dealt with the more important of the VIP's bags (They were larger, had bigger chocolates and an extra magazine). I was in a group with Matt H, Loz and Dave. Whilst Matt and Loz put all of the leaflets and magazines into the bags, I loaded them with perfumes/shower gel (three to a bag) whilst Dave finished them off with chocolates. Using this method we finished off the bags very quickly.
The other group finished their bags to find out that the number of chocolates was greater than the number of perfumes. This meant that they couldn't carry on packing the bags and the chocolates were therefore given to us (success!). After this I was sent out with more leaflets to hand around town. I went with Hayden and Matt H. I had three different types of leaflet to hand out so after a while I stopped handing out one at a time, and started handing out three. That way, I get the job done faster, and people are bound to find something they liked. I found that (especially among younger people) they were far more likely to take the leaflets if I put the 'Spying Game' leaflet on the top. I guess it was the colour scheme of the 'German Film' leaflets that people didn't find appealing...
We also asked a few shops if they wouldn't mind us leaving some of the leaflets in the shops for consumers to look at and read, most shops said yes. After a while of doing this Matt had to leave and Hayden had to go back to the Picturehouse to do some editing work. So I offered to stay out and finish off handing out the leaflets. When I collected them from the other two there were a fair few left, so distributing them took at least another hour, possibly more - I lost track of time.
When I got back it was getting quite late and a lot of people had already started to leave. At this point I went up to the editing room and started helping Loz who was in there editing a Film Festival trailer. After a few minutes of doing this I set out with Jasmine to do some establishing shots for the Festival. We filmed people going in and out of the screenings/getting their tickets torn etc. After the first film had finished (Bird Watchers) I asked a few people what they thought of the film using a mini HD video recorder supplied to me by the Festival staff. Unfortunately, the thing ate batteries and the best interview I got wasn't recorded because the second I hit record the battery died.
We found out that filming inside the cinema screen is almost hopeless. There simply isn't enough light, even when the house lights are on. Despite several attempts Jasmine and I simply couldn't get any good shots of the audience sitting. I was also helping out with the ushering, and as a result I was allowed to borrow a Cambridge Film Festival t-shirt which I was delighted to see everyone was jealous of. Everyone seemed to want one for some reason. I also got to see the beginning of Bird Watchers, which I have to admit, did look very interesting. This theory was backed up by the fact that the people came out literally buzzing from the experience of watching it.
I carried on to work, film and edit until the film 'Army of Crime' was about to start. This was the film that was considered to be the real start of the festival. This was quite late, and by this time it was only Sam, Loz and myself still working. I was asked to film Tony Jones and the director of the film talking in front of everyone introducing them to the festival and talking about Army of Crime. I noticed that three seats were free in the front row, so I waited until they started talking and dashed over to occupy one of them so I could get a better camera shot of them talking.
There was also another hand-held camera at the top of the cinema, and a piece of recording equipment plugged into the microphone feed to get a clear audio track of them talking (as there wouldn't be one from the cameras). After they had finished we rushed back to the editing room and Loz, Sam and I started working on making a video of them talking to go up onto the website as quickly as possible. I suggested that what we do it to dub the audio from the recording equipment over the video to make the sound quality seem perfect. I'm quite good at doing things like this as I do it quite a lot when making my own videos, so I offered to align the two to make it optimal. It only took me a second and turned out brilliantly.
At just after nine o'clock I left the picture house to go home, completing my twelve hour day.
At the door of the Picturehouse we were accompanied by Tim and we made our way into the building. We sat down for a shot while before we were again presented with something to do. We were asked to hole punch and attach lanyards to all of the identity cards for the important people at the festival. To our great disappointment we were informed that we would not be receiving a lanyard.
After this almost everyone had arrived, we sat around for quite a while before a few of us asked for something to do. We were given copies of 'Film Festival Daily' and asked to distribute them around the town as best we could by giving them to shops/people. I walked with James for most of the time and we managed to give out all of the papers after around just over an hour. We found that it's very difficult to hand them out, but often if you get the words 'Film Festival' out as fast as possible, people's interest seems to grow and they often take the leaflets/papers when they realise what you're offering is more interesting than most of the things given out free on the street. There is large public interest in the Film Festival, so it raised my spirits to discover this. Subsequently, I found myself saying the words 'Excuse me, are you interested in the Cambridge Film Festival?' a very large number of times that day.
When we finally got back we were almost immediately thrown into to helping the others baggage the VIP bags. Eight of us were split into two groups of four. Our group dealt with the more important of the VIP's bags (They were larger, had bigger chocolates and an extra magazine). I was in a group with Matt H, Loz and Dave. Whilst Matt and Loz put all of the leaflets and magazines into the bags, I loaded them with perfumes/shower gel (three to a bag) whilst Dave finished them off with chocolates. Using this method we finished off the bags very quickly.
The other group finished their bags to find out that the number of chocolates was greater than the number of perfumes. This meant that they couldn't carry on packing the bags and the chocolates were therefore given to us (success!). After this I was sent out with more leaflets to hand around town. I went with Hayden and Matt H. I had three different types of leaflet to hand out so after a while I stopped handing out one at a time, and started handing out three. That way, I get the job done faster, and people are bound to find something they liked. I found that (especially among younger people) they were far more likely to take the leaflets if I put the 'Spying Game' leaflet on the top. I guess it was the colour scheme of the 'German Film' leaflets that people didn't find appealing...
We also asked a few shops if they wouldn't mind us leaving some of the leaflets in the shops for consumers to look at and read, most shops said yes. After a while of doing this Matt had to leave and Hayden had to go back to the Picturehouse to do some editing work. So I offered to stay out and finish off handing out the leaflets. When I collected them from the other two there were a fair few left, so distributing them took at least another hour, possibly more - I lost track of time.
When I got back it was getting quite late and a lot of people had already started to leave. At this point I went up to the editing room and started helping Loz who was in there editing a Film Festival trailer. After a few minutes of doing this I set out with Jasmine to do some establishing shots for the Festival. We filmed people going in and out of the screenings/getting their tickets torn etc. After the first film had finished (Bird Watchers) I asked a few people what they thought of the film using a mini HD video recorder supplied to me by the Festival staff. Unfortunately, the thing ate batteries and the best interview I got wasn't recorded because the second I hit record the battery died.
We found out that filming inside the cinema screen is almost hopeless. There simply isn't enough light, even when the house lights are on. Despite several attempts Jasmine and I simply couldn't get any good shots of the audience sitting. I was also helping out with the ushering, and as a result I was allowed to borrow a Cambridge Film Festival t-shirt which I was delighted to see everyone was jealous of. Everyone seemed to want one for some reason. I also got to see the beginning of Bird Watchers, which I have to admit, did look very interesting. This theory was backed up by the fact that the people came out literally buzzing from the experience of watching it.
I carried on to work, film and edit until the film 'Army of Crime' was about to start. This was the film that was considered to be the real start of the festival. This was quite late, and by this time it was only Sam, Loz and myself still working. I was asked to film Tony Jones and the director of the film talking in front of everyone introducing them to the festival and talking about Army of Crime. I noticed that three seats were free in the front row, so I waited until they started talking and dashed over to occupy one of them so I could get a better camera shot of them talking.
There was also another hand-held camera at the top of the cinema, and a piece of recording equipment plugged into the microphone feed to get a clear audio track of them talking (as there wouldn't be one from the cameras). After they had finished we rushed back to the editing room and Loz, Sam and I started working on making a video of them talking to go up onto the website as quickly as possible. I suggested that what we do it to dub the audio from the recording equipment over the video to make the sound quality seem perfect. I'm quite good at doing things like this as I do it quite a lot when making my own videos, so I offered to align the two to make it optimal. It only took me a second and turned out brilliantly.

Day Two - Alie
On my second day of work Experience at the Cambridge Film Festival, I didn't have a lot to do. I arrived at 10am, but because there was seven of us there for that shift and the other six had stuff to edit, I was sent out around Cambridge to hand out Festival Daily's, which are daily newsletter things that inform people about what has been happening at the festival and how it is going. This was very similar to one on my tasks from my first day, but this time not only did I have to give them to shops and other place to put on display but I was told to hand them out to people walking past on the street. This was a lot more difficult than the day before, I revisited a lot of the places that I had handed brochures out to the day before because I knew that they would be willing to put them on display. But after that I still had a lot of Festival Daily's left, I then attempted to hand them out to people walking past on the street but this was a lot more difficult than giving them to shops, it was more difficult as with giving them to shop not only are they more likely to take them but I can give them a handful, people on the street, even if they do want one they will only take one. Also doing by myself made it difficult because I had to carry a lot by myself and wasn't able to cover as much places as I would have been able to do if I had more people helping me. In the end I manage to get quite a lot of people to take one but many people were either saying no to me, or just walking past me not evening answering me if I asked them if they wanted one. Unlike my first day though I didn't limit myself to only one place, I more around more places in Cambridge, handing them out if places like the train station. I managed to hand out all of the Festival Daily's by just after 1pm. Although I did take and very long time, and standing on the streets carrying lots of paper and having loads of people completely ignore you did become very tedious, this task went a lot better than I had expected it to.
Day One - Alie
On my first day of work experience for the Cambridge Film Festival, we were given a lot of simple tasked to do in groups that would help out with the preparation for the first day of the festival. I arrived at the picture house at 10am, and the first task I was involved in was, we were given loads of name cards that had the names of all the staff and important guests of the Film Festival. First we had to hole punch them, then we put them on the things that the people can wear around their necks to show they are involved in the Film Festival.
The next task was, the class was divided into two groups, the group that I was in were given loads of Film Festival brochures and we had to go around Cambridge going into places like shops & cafes and asking if we could put some of them on display in there so that their customers can pick them up if they are interested in attending the Film Festival. There was six of us in the group that had this task, so we decided to split into three groups of two so that we could hand them out to a wider range of Cambridge. I was with Mike, we had to go up and down the streets that are close to the film festival. We managed to hand out all of the brochures that we were given, most places we okay with us leaving some, we put them in shops, hairdressers, bakeries & hotels, but there were some places that did not want any of them on display.
The other group had to prepare gift bags for the guests.
The last task that I was given on my first day was to work with Philippa and take a basic digital camera around the picture house, and film the inside and surroundings with some shots of what was going on. Once we had shot all the footage that we needed we edited. After editing all the clips and adding music and titles we had to upload the video to Vimeo and once it was on Vimeo, put it up on the CFF live website.

Technically Day 4 - Tim
I was busy yesterday so i didn't go in.
Today i got there about 9:30, but there's only a train every hour or something on a Sunday now so had i got a later one i'd have been hella late. When i got there, Matt gave me the Q&A recording from "Creation" for me to edit down to 5 minutes from about 47. This took me a while as i had to listen through it to cut out silences and then decide which bits were important. In the end i tried to take a bit from each answer and stick it together so it sounds as if it's the same sentence. I also took one long soundbyte because i liked it and thought it was quite important as it explained how he got a more realistic feel to the film.
I was then asked to edit "The Nature of Existence". I started to do this, but shortly after i started, Bill came in and asked if me and two other volunteers (not from LR) if we wanted to go and watch a film called 'Black Narcissus'. So we did, It was quite good, about some nuns and some weird either English or Australian guy, i'm not good with accents and i can't actually remember what he sounded like.
We then walked back into the office and Bill asked us if we would please go and see this film called "House of Numbers" so we did, and he thanked us, which seemed odd, but we watched it and it was a documentary and was kinda dull. However the fun didn't stop there. After the movie, 4 people came and sat down at a table at the front, and a massive crowd of people came and sat in the seats. We then had an hour long debate about the 4 slightly sciency films that had been played and a couple of people in the crowd got a bit worked up about it all and started argueing. Several people left for whatever reason and many complained about Brent Leung's movie, however as with many people who compain about things, they hadn't actually watched the film.
I then walked back into the office, where Matt asked why the hell i was still there after about 9 hours and said i could go home. So i did.

CFF Day two Sam C-W
Being so far one of the people with the most hours racked up, the festival has already started to blur into one big mash of filming, recording and editing. due to not getting home till about 11:30 friday night i didn't get chance to blog the goings on of friday the 18th so im doing it today.
I got into the picture house around, 5pm i sat and recorded the Q & A for can go through skin and Flood. After that i sat and edited all of the audio footage from the Q & A and posted it as a podcast. This whole process took quite a while

work experience - james - first day
the first day of work experience at the film festival was a little slow but it was a good introduction to what we'd be contribting to. to begin with, we were sorting out lanyards for people who were going to be arriving throughout the festival. then we were asked to carry boxes from upstairs to the lobby which werefull of thins to put in gift bags. the gift bags were to be given to VIP's and other visiters to the festival.
we were split into groups and we then filled the bags with the various items such as leaflets and fancy chocolates. we spen about an hour sorting out the gift bags. we all had a different job. one person would put a chocolate in and pass it to someone who would add perfume. it was a good system that worked really well.
after we had organised the gift bags there was a lot of sitting around. they didn't really know what we could do to help which was really frustrating because we were sitting around feeling useless. after a while someon approached us and said that we could hand out leaflets to shops around town but some people in the group had already done that earlier. there was a strong sign of bad communcation among the workers of the festival and we were all getting tired of sitting. i was ready to up and go after about 45minutes of nothing to do but then they had finally found something for us to do.
we were handed the festial daily slips that were sheets shoing what the festival had to offer on that day, and we had to go around town and hand them out to people. as tiresome as that sounds me and alex had fun doing this. we spent a while doing it but it flew by. work is only boring if you choose to make it boring and me and alex made it fun. we weren't being stupid we were just trying to have a positive attitude about the whole thing. after we did that we went back to the picture house an people were leaving for lunch.
after lunch there was a meeting but unfortantly i had to go to work so i left at 2.30 to catch a bus. i was there from 9.30-2.30. it was an okay first day but it would have been better if they knew what they wanted from us because there was a lot of time wasted due to lack of organisation.

Film festival (promo video)
Saturday 19th September
Today i have been emailing Matt asking about what to do next week at the festival, he responded by telling me tthat him and Johnny also Bill, will be producing a timetable of events and times i am avaliable etc.
This weekend i will be looking at a few videos based around what Matt and barney said, for example most of the footage will be archive and also Q&A'S with guests and such at the picture house.
In the latest email from Matt he stated that we could easily use teh footage / films that some fellow students on work ex. have filmed and produced in order to place into the "window shots" on the building in the footage that me and dave shot.
So overall,
On monday me and Ash will go collect the hard drives with the archive footage on at around 9pm from nick who will be at Long Road, then after getting the hard drives we will then travel to Coleridge to edit the rough cut of the promo video in order for the other clips (archive etc) to be placed into the window slots.
Overall the project so far is going well!

Day Two - Mike
Today, I went back to long Road to collect the HD cameras and soom boom mics. I took them back to the picturehouse, and was told that I wasn't needed until two o'clock so I spent the next three hours walking around town.
When I got back, I helped Matt L finish on the podcast of the Q & A from the night before. We also worked on a version of it in final cut. Afterwards, we began to edit what Alex and Hayden had filmed and also shot some more footage that could go with it.

Second Day - Matt Leonowicz
I had a driving lesson in the morning, so i had to start from 1, when i got there i was given the task of editing audio that people before had previously started but didn't get very far on, i managed to edit about 30 minuets of audio down to a 6 minuet highlight package for a podcast.
Once this one done we were asked to do some editing on footage that was recorded in the morning, it wasn't amazing but we managed.
and that was my day pretty much.

Today I came in at 10 and worked till 1 in that time Matt gave us recording of the Q&A from last night "the Army of Crime" we had to condense a 45 minute recording in to a 5minute highlights as we did know what happen in the Q&A we had to listen to it and cut it as we go this took very long to do. I let Philippa have a go half way through and I then gave moral support and wondered to find if anyone needed my help with anything but had no luck. its was about 12:15 and I had to catch a bus to college to do some editing for Tony and his film reel archive films. We got there but Nick didn't show up until reception called him. there we did the editing and finished up. when I came back to the picture house we pritty much cleaned up the palace as Bill wasn't here yet and there was nothing really for us to do apart from film a few people going in to films and ask other what they thought of the film when they came out. lucky for me I 2 people who had alot to say about the film. and now we have to get these recordings of the Q&A and cut them down to 5mins and then use the rest for the tomorrows work.

Cambridge Film Festival day one - Sam C-W
Thursday 17th September AKA Cambridge film festival day one.
We started our 10 days of work experience as interns on the 17th at 10am. when we arrived we were given a briefing and waited for things to get organised and were given our first jobs of the next 10days. We were split into 2 groups, one group sat and packed gift bags for the VIP's etc whilst we set out to hand out booklets on the festival. That took about and hour or so, we went in pairs with bags full to the brim of booklets and distributed them to shops and bars. Once that was done joe loz and i were handed a camera and given an hour to shoot, edit and post a behind the scenes first day video up on one of the festivals websites www.cfflive.org.uk. we had a few odd jobs every now and again in between things and errends to run etc. it got to about 5 and i had to leave for a bit. I got back at 7, found Matt, the online intern and helped him loz and alex with editing some more footage. it was then time for the main opeing film to be shown, Army of Crime, by french director Robert Gedigian (unsure of spelling). Tony Jones, the main festival co-ordinator gave and itroduction to the festival and Roberts film. Alex and Max filmed this whilst Bill recorded the sound. We then had the task of, as quikly as humanly possible, editing the 2 peices of footage and the sound together to make a film suitable for the film festival website. Unfortunatly Loz and Alex had to leave so they could get home so i had this task to do myself. The editing took about 45 minutes to an hour but i had brakes every now and again so took about 2 hours. Just as i finnished editing i had to run back to screen one to record the sound from Robert Gedigian's Q & A. i was sat there on the floor for about 50 minutes. once i got out even Bill had gone home so Matt and i decided to call it a day.

Second Day - Tim
I got the wrong train today so ended up wandering around cambridge at about 8 o clock. I got to the picturehouse just after 9 and waited for something to do. Me, Alex and Hayden were told to go off and record another podcast for today. So after a while we managed to do that, but it was only 1:26, so wasn't really long enough but had to do. I then edited that and converted it into an mp3.
I then set to work updating the CFF Live website for yesterday, as it had to be changed from what was going on to what had gone on. Basically all i had to do was write a sentence or two about something, then upload a couple of photos. I did this for all the main events that happened, but we were meant to add a video before publishing it but it didn't get finished by the time i had to leave.

Second day - Tara Cox
For my second day at the arts picture house for work experience I put down my times of availability from 9 - 5. I arrived at 9 and was told by Matt to help him edit today, along with a couple of other members of the diploma.
Firstly, Ash and I edited 35 minutes of a Q & A with a film director from the night before, which was from the film ' White Lightnin'. We were asked to cut 35 minutes of recording down to just 5 minutes. Therefore we had to go through each bit of the footage in order and listen to it, before cutting out in our opinion some irrelevant bits - such as pauses, too long answers etc. We were left with some of the best answers which were relevant to the film and this was converted to MPEG4 file and put onto a USB stick for Matt Waters.
After this I was then asked to edit an hour worth of footage from the film 'The army of crime' followed by a Q&A with director Robert Guédiguian. It was roughly an hour long pod cast which needed to be shortened again to 5 minutes. This was what took the majority of time - as editing in Garageband was fairly new to me, I had only briefly done it before so learning to cut etc on a big Mac computer was also different than what it would have been on the Macbooks from our diploma.
Philippa, Loz and I set to work on the editing, Loz was then asked to do another task so it was me and Philippa who were left to do the editing together. Philippa had a go first showing me what to do, and then I had a go for the remaining half an hour until the end of shift 1 at 1pm. We managed to shorten down an hours worth of footage to jut 29 minutes or so in the time we had which was good considering this. There were a lot of pauses etc in the pod cast so this also helped quite a bit. Alex and Hayden did the podcast for today so it as nice to do some editing which was new to me.
I finished my earlier shift at 1, and I had worked out the previous day that it would be helpful if I could upload some blog posts and things I had done onto the CFF website or the film festival website. look at the website here. Overall I think today has been another good experience, and I enjoyed editing as it was something different to what I was used to.
For the ideas of work at home, I was asked to think of some ideas to shoot or record for the film festival.
- I think a few good ideas would be some interviews with customers about the film festival in general, perhaps some upcoming films and some further questions.
- I also think some footage etc of the picturehouse n general would be good, when it is busy with people coming in and out of film screenings etc - in order to promote the festival.
- I will also try to draft a pod cast for either tomorrow or monday. I will not be doing work experience at the weekend so if I write a podcast it will be for some of the students that are working tomorrow. If the podcast is for monday then that will also be helpful for the people who do the podcast, whether it's for me or other students that do the podcast that day.
I have just had a look at the online festival brochure and cannot make out what the films are like, the text for the films are clear as seen in the above picture, but they also need brief summaries in order to promote them for the audience.
However without seeing the text i cannot do this as the text is very unclear and too little to see from the online brochure. It would have been very helpful if I would have brought a brochure home from the festival, but the one I did have I gave in today thinking I may not need it. However, today will try to write out the other parts of the script for the Podcast for monday.
17th September 09 First day at the festival
on the first day of the festival we turned up thinking we were going to do a few hours at the Picturehouse and be home by lunch. but we were wrong. we had to make goody bags for all the important guest that will be turning up during the 10 days after that few people went to give out liflets but I was sent to make a quick trailer of establishing shots and interviewing the staff. we had a few troubles as we didn't get our HD cameras and got bills personal camera with HD on it but it ate battery so we had to keep swapping them after that i sat on the picturehouses machine and edited it i had a lot of fun as everyone was nice and helpful. the room we were in was very warm so it was bit hard to work also the machines were very slow to render stuff so that stated get annoying but we finished the video and uploaded it to www.cfflive.org.uk after we waited for the film "the Army of Crime" to started which had an opening welcome from Tony also we had to record the Q&A with the french director after the film but i went home before but i did start to edit the video with Toneys opening speach.
Film festival (promo video)
Friday 18th September
Today i arrived to work at the picture house at around 9:30 am, ready to work, i soon relised that i was not actually supposed to be there today according to matt. and i soon found out that there was in fact a timetable of times and date we could work, but i also found out that Bill thompson has the timetables etc in his email inbox and will send them on too us at some point soon, so as far as i know im not sure when i am working or anything as of yet. Today i worked from 9ish till around 3ish (including the talk with David and with Barney)
After i left the picture house i went to Long Road where i met David Rose, and we discussed the rough cut promo video. When we got the rough cut video set up ready to view.
Here are the points that David spoke about:
- The titles look good and work well at the start
- The colour footage dosnt work at all needs to be black and white
- The music track doesnt work at all and needs changing
- There needs to be a video clip in each window on the footage
- The buldings in the videos look too distant
- I will require a copy of the final copy / rough cut on DVD
- I will be in touch with you with ideas about a new soundtrack / music track
- Overall its quite goodm but theres alot that needs doing so i will ask for more time for you to edit it
After the very brief meeting David said to me and ash that he would contact us both through MSN / email from now on as he will be very busy in london working on more jobs etc. He also wants to hold discussions via email instead of meeting up or though he did say he wanted to meet up next wednesday but i very much doubt he will show up as he will be working or something.
I also had a quick discussion to Barney about the video and he said it was good, and said that we could use archive footage instead of worrying about the film clips from the picture house. He also stated that not much needs editing on it apart from placing in the archive / film clips in the windows, in the footage we have.
So in conclusion,
On Monday next week we (Me and Ash) will be working at Coleridge and will be working on the Rough cut. We will take into account what Barney said as what Barney said made more sense than what David said, also barny mentioned that we should take the whole project into our own hands which is very good idea because David is not available s much as we wanted or would expect him to be, and also because we feel s if we have put in all the hard work for this video, and all David has mentioned is a few tips and basically instructed us on what he wants, and didn't take into account what our ideas were, so overall we have decided to take this project into our own hands and get it done asap and show it to the people at the picture house, for them to use this year. Also as far as the work experience goes im not sure i will be in to the picture house until next week, as i have a hectic weekend seeing family and also doing research for the promo video (archive footage etc) so in some sense i can count a few hours this weekend for work experience as its work on the promo video, and i will be working again on monday at coleridge with Ash (9pm until 3pm) because at 3pm i have to go to my part time work.
Overall its al going ok so far........

First Day - Matt Leonowicz
Well to start off my day, not trains were working, so I had to get a lift in, which actually made me slightly early.
When I first got there, we had to wait around for only about 10 minutes until we were given the job to distribute the books of the festival to different shops, Kirk and I went to the Grafton and distributed them there that only took about an hour or so.
Next we were given the Cambridge Festival Daily to distribute out to shops in the Grand Arcade Lion yard, and generally around that area.
After lunch Tara, Mike Tim and I created a Pod cast using a big microphone and recording device.
Listen to it here
After Tara and Mike left Tim and I edited the pod cast, and with the help of Matt Waters we uploaded it to Libsyn which is a pod casting website, for people to listen to.

Film festival - Promo Video
Thursday 17th September
Today i attended the 2nd day of the work experiance which was located at the picture house in Cambridge, when i first arrived i was shocked to realise that already there was work to do, straight away without any words of what to do apart from what Alex and Tim said to me "we are putting cards onto the lanyards" so i set to work on helping them out with them.
The other people in my group showed up after a few minutes and we all set to work on the lanyards, and also some people were just twidling their thumbs with not much to do at all.
After the lanyards were complete we were instructed to either pack some goody bags or distribute some film festival booklets. Me, Matt, Mike, Ali, Joe and Sam chose to hand out the booklets whereas the others in the group decided to pack up the goody bags.
When i had finished giving out the boolets to shops in and around the grafton centre, i was ocntacted by Dave and he told me that Matt (from film festival) said it was ok for me and Dave to go off and edit the rest of the rough cut version of the Promo video for David Rose.
So shortly after arriving back at the picture house me and Dave went off to edit the rest of the rough cut promo video. for the short while i was at the picture house i asked the staff there what there was to do for every one. As the rest of the group were sitting doing nothing and were getting quite bored, so i decided to ask one of the staff what was going on. when i actually went to ask i decided to actually ask more than one member of staff as the first memeber of staff didnt have a clue what was going on at all, and the other staff just said wait for bill thompson i think theres some editing to do, so i informed the other members in the group and told them about Bill Thompson and let them know what was happening etc.
When me and Dave set to do the editing task for the Promo Video we soon realised we had more work to do than we first thought, as the video formats was too small, in otehrwords the video quality wasnt as high as we first thought and a result of this was a blurry set of footage clips, but we worked around it and decided to save it as a rough cut and explain to David Rose that he would have to wait until next week, then me and dave will get the full quality version complete, but will use the rough cut as a guide of what to do in the final promo video.
Also we had trouble when teh editing programe (after effects) crashed during editing the footage / video clips from normal colour to black and white, which would make it ready for the video footage to be placed in the windows as colour footage.
Anyway these errors aside i believe we done the best we could do overall and produced a very good rough cut, and i will look forawrd to what David has to say about it tomorrow when we meet up at 1pm at Long road. Tomorrow i will be starting work at 9pm and will most likely work until 12, when i go to long road and set up the video etc ready for when David Rose shows up to view out promo video rough cut.

Film Festival - Promo video
Wednesday 16th September
Today me and dave set out to record the footage for the promo video, for the film festival.
We decied to film the footage at around 5am, but when i awoke i realised it was too dark to film any footage atall, so we changed the time of the meeting too 6.30am in order for it to be light and for us to film the footage in better light.
When we both met up we decided to film up by the punting river first and then work our way up too castle hill and then make our way back down through cambridge via jesus green. The footage that we got on location were such iconic scenes in cambridge such as kings college / uni, the churches, punting river, and castle hill.
Overall i believe that the filming went really well, or though David Rose wasnt present for the film shoot, etc.
Here are a few photos from the film shoot:
When we arrived at colleridge on the same day, we set to editing the footage we filmed that morning. we soon got the seperate videos into a sequence and were ready to add the black and white effects and place in the film clips etc.
The only chalenge we had was to create the titles at the start of the film, but this was soon sorted when we viewed a couple of after effect tutorials online.
Overall the edit of the rough cut is going well and tomorrow after the seccond day of work experiance at the picture house me and dave will edit the footage some more and get as much done as possible.

First Day - Philippa Price
For our work experience we are working at the Picture House, Cambridge. This work experience happens to be doing the Film Festival, so we are helping out with a lot of the jobs which need doing around the place.
Today, on our first day, we were all over the place and everyone was being assigned different jobs. My first job of the day was to help some of others pack various items into 'goody' bags, which will be for the VIP's and a few others to have once they arrive. This task turned out to be a lot of fun, as we made our own assemble line and this helped us to get the job done a lot faster and correctly.
My second and final task of the day was to go around the Picture House with a digital camera and record various places within the building. Our video turned out showing all the preparations for the film festival and everyone getting ready. Once we had gathered all the footage we could, we then had to get back to editing room to edit the footage, put over a sound track and upload to the Cambridge Film Festival website.
I worked on this piece with Natalie and we found it all quite simple until we had to put the music on. The website in which we used to get the music for the video, was quite complicated and we didn't download it properly and this took a lot of our time to make sure that the right format was downloaded and it was definitely an MP3 so it would work with the video.
We finally managed to get it all to work and uploaded it all fine. Once it was uploaded we posted a little something about it underneath and it was complete. Here is the web address to the page on the website which our video is posted.

First Day
Today was pretty slow. When i turned up, i was an hour early due to the trains, but after wondering around for a bit i saw Alex and Bill walking into the picturehouse so went in with them. We sat around for a while then someone came over and gave us hundreds of ID card things to hole punch and put on lanyards. So we sat around doing this as other people slowly turned up, then we were told to make the VIP goody bags. This involved putting some chocolate, 2 things of shampoo or something, a magazine, a picturehouse brochure and various leaflets. After putting these all in the bags and carrying them upstairs, we sat around for a bit. Me and 2 others then went to re-fill the picturehouse brochure shelves, as they emptied very quickly. We were then given armfuls of the "Film Festival Daily" leaflets to hand out, so we were walking around town handing them to shops. Most shops took them and were happy to leave them on the counter for customers to take, but some said they weren't allowed but they took a couple for the staff room or employees.
After we had handed out all our leaflets, we went back to the Picturehouse and waited for Bill to return from wherever he had been. He gave us a very basic health and safety speech basically saying "Don't die, and No alligators". He then got us into groups to do different tasks, and Me, Mike, Matt and Tara went to scrpit and record a podcast explaining what was happening that day at the festival and what is going on tomorrow. After a few attempts and yelling at people for hitting the walls while we were recording we got it finished, we then satr down with Bill and planned when we could work for the next few days. Mike and Tara had to go home, but me and Matt stayed to edit the podcast and upload it to LibSyn or something. Here is a link:

Then i went home.

First day of work experience - Tara Cox
For our Diploma, 10 days of work experience have to be completed in order to pass, this is a total of 70 hours,. However, for me some of the work experience I did last year counts towards these 70 hours - this was the 2 days work experience i completed at channel 4 inspiration week. The 2 days totalled up to be 14 hours which means for the film festival work experience I would only have to do another 56 hours in total to get the full 70 hours.
On my first day at the picturehouse, I arrived at 10 am to start the work experience and stayed until 5 pm. When I first got to the picturehouse we were let in and shown over to Tim etc who were already busy making langyards for the 'film festival delegates'. My first job was to help put together around 40 V.I.P guest bags, along with others in a group of 4. Each bag contained some bath essences, chocolate, leaflets and a sound and sight magazine, some guests also got a copy of 'Raw' magazine also.
My second job was to hand out Festival daily magazines to shops around town in order to promote and advertise the festival. Me, Matt L, Tim and Mike went together in a group of 4, approaching various shops and asking politely if they would be able to take a few festival daily magazines and hand them out with purchases - orin one case WH Smith even had an advertisement board in which we could stick the magazines up.
My third job was the most important, and in the same group of 4 we then volunteered to make a podcast, describing the first day of the festival and what films were showing that day, a brief description, with some films showing the further day also. Listen to that podcast here.
I think my favourite part of the day would have to be the podcast, but it was also fun just to be around the festival while everyone prepared for it. I think on the next day it would be nice to maybe do some editing or a different variety of jobs that I did today. Overall my first day of work experience was a good experience and it was nice to be involved in everything that was going on to promote the festival.

Film festival interview preparation
Above are some pictures we took as a group while doing some film festival interview preparation before the festival. We had a group of 4, which consisted of Alie, Philippa, Matt L and Me, and went down to the Picturehouse to do some preparation - which would help us considerably in terms of interviews later on in the film festival.
We first used the zoom mics to create interview podcasts for the festival. We interviewed 3 people, Matt, Chloe and 1 other person. We had a set of 8 questions in order to ask them and followed these questions quite well, with each of us asking atleast one question - Philippa asked the majority though.
For filming, we used the HD camera and filmed interviews with 3 people too. We interviewed Chloe, Matt and Bill Thompson. We mainly used an over the shoulder shot mainly and kept the tripod the same position.
Overall, this helped us considerably with preparation for the festival and in terms of interview technique etc. We may add the finished interviews and zoom mic podcasts when they are completed.

Film Festival Preperation ( Promo Video) - Kirk Kemp
During the course of last week and over the weekend i have been contacted by David Rose, whom is in charge of the promo video for the film festival in Cambridge. He has asked for the help of me, Dave, and ash, and has asked us to produce the promo video for the festival.
His general idea for the video was as follows:
"cambridge is seen as dark and dull (shot in black and white) all the streets are empty, but then when the films start to appear on the streets they bring colour and light to the streets of cambridge"
So basically Davids idea is to show the films that are coming to Cambridge and make it look as if they are what is bringing the colour back to the streets.
Me, Dave, and Ash held a meeting with david last week and we decided that tomorrow would be a good time to do the actual shoot, but the time for the shoot would have to be early as David rose wanted no people in the shots, so we decided that the times best for the shoot would be 6am or 7am and then for the rest of the day / morning we will edit the footage at colridge and at daves house or on the college laptops.
David Rose unfortunatly cannot be with us on the shoot but says he will meet us on friday to see how its going on with the edit and so on, the other problem is that dave is on holiday (thursday - tuesday) so this may cause some trouble but we should be ok as im sure some one will step in and take daves place in order for us to get the promo video complete before the festival.
