El Wood

We are incorporating pictures of the model El Wood into our documentary as she is an iconic figure for promoting individuality.

She has been a model for two years and is a well known face in the magazines INKED and FRONT.

She has a promotion page on facebook and a tumblr blog... http://elwoodmodel.tumblr.com/

We have started collecting photographs to use as a montage for a section of our documentary and further experimenting with different pieces of music which are fast paced to use for this specific section.

The pieces of copywrited music we are debating will be authorised when we have made our final decisions.

All our extra edits:

We've been making progress with our editing of Hazelle's interview by adding in all her lovely modelling photographs and sorting out the audio.

It was rather difficult when having to detach the audio of the interview and structure it to fit in with our photographs as well as match her speech, however, after lots of perserverence we have more or less managed to complete that section of our footage, ready to be pieced together with our Camden shots.

We also edited the lighting of the interview, changing it to a 'glow' so that it fitted in with our vibrant, young style of our poetic documentary.

We also downloaded a specific font from www.dafont.com which looks almost tattooed itself so that it fits in with the topic of our documentary. Originally we really wanted to design the names ourself as real tattoos and have them almost inked onto the screen, however, we found this very difficult to re-create on imovie, however, are still perservereing with the initial idea.

Here is a link to our specific font choice...

Tattoo Promotion:

Within our documentary we are keen to promote the art of tattoos and to present both the positive and negative aspects.




Hazelle Moscrop, supports the idea of tattoos and is a good example of a person who expresses her personality through her body art and style. She is excited to therefore speak to us about her different tattoos and the ones she has planned for the future.


She has recently been on a photoshoot for a website called 'The Suicide Girls', which promotes young women with body-art such as tattoos and piercings, and is happy for us to view and show the pictures in our documentary.

Location:

During half term Lauren Claudie and myself went to Camden to take some initial footage and location shots for our documentary. We managed to interview a man who had many tattoos for our actual documentary which was so useful and is perfect for our footage.

As well as that, we decided to leave the camera running and walk around Camden, through all the market stools etc. We want to use this footage in the opening part of our main documentary as we will be editing the colours to make them brighter and exciting, as well as speeding up the footage. We are hoping that this as an introduction will meet the needs of our young target audience and give them an initial taster of life in Camden Town.

As well as doing this we also filmed shorter clips just of location, such as rotation shots and high angle shots which we can use as a montage within our work.

Initial Ideas:

We decided to change our documentary idea. We wanted a theme which is controversial (so we could document a range in opinions), easily understood by an audience (so they can perhaps relate to our footage) and relates to our age so we can add our own opinions.

We chose the topic of tattoos because, as I have already mentioned, they are a controversial issue, so we can interview people of all ages about their views. We want to especially talk to tattoo artists themselves to see why they chose such a profession to see whether they enjoy it.

We want to make our documentary young and urban through our editing skills, so it is fast paced and there is a variety of colour and music used to grab audience attention.

We are planning to film the majority of our footage in Camden as it is the perfect location when finding people who have tattoos themselves, work in the professional and it also links to the poetic documentary theme we aim to produce as it is a fun, entertaining place.
