The original script was about a man strgging to live with his OCD. The audience see his everyday dull life until he meets a girl which changes his aspect in life. It was an emotional journey for the main protoganist.

Drama Project - The start.

The initall script was created and I felt that it was a good enough script to work with. It involved the main character struggling to live with OCD. The narrative followed his everday life and showed the struggles he had in his boring everyday life, until he meets a girl which changes his aspect on life. It was originally meant to be an emotional joureny for the main protgonaist.

Liverpool Documentary

Filming in Liverpool went very well and was a great place to visit. My role was Sound recorder, I used a Marantz 660 with a omni-directional and shotgun Microphone to record the atmos sounds in the places we visited. I also used a Boom pole connected to the shotgun mic to capture the Vox-pops with. I feel at the time of recording the sounds that it went very well and had no problems recording them, after hearing them back in editing, the vox-pops weren't as clear as they could have been. This was because of two things, one was the fact that because we were on a beach whilst recording, it was therefore quite windy and we could here that in the background, the other was that I didn't hold the microphone close enough to the interviewee's so we had to edit it in soundtrack pro to make the recordings of the vox pops more clear.

Drama project - filming

On the day of the filming we used my house as the location for the main character's house. As I was the editor I gave my opinions and thoughts on where and what the shots could be placed or even look like. I thought it was quite important for me to know and be there when the shots were being filmed as being the editor I had my own ideas for the drama. I also thought that my location for the some of the shots of the drama worked really well with the drama as there are some nice places to film.
