Initial ideas

Shots needed
- montage of uni buildings
- reconstruction of radio film
- vox pops

vox pops -
As a group we choose a selection of different questions that related to uni and student life. we then each picked one which we asked different people and filmed the outcome. we decided to do this way as we wanted to have lots of different locations. we also thought about the time scale that we had to do everything and felt it was best to shoot these small sections on our own.

Questions -
- What's advice would you give to new students?
- What's your biggest memory of first year at uni?
- What's the hardest thing you have had to do coming to uni on your own?
- What did you do on your first night at uni?
- Is there anything you didn't expect?

The question that i asked was what's your biggest memory of first year at uni?
The setup - i used my front room of my house to get quite a natural set-up. I used my housemates to ask the questions as i felt they would be the most comfortable in answering my questions.
I found that it was quite difficult to some up just one memory of uni. i found that they struggled with things to say and they had to really think or had quite similar answers. To go on from this i am going to expand the questions to allow more answers. i will also look at changing the locations and have more people answering to create a montage.

When we met as a group we all discussed our findings. Jonny who was given the question what did you do on your first night at uni? He found that most answers where very similar and most of them involving being drunk. We then discussed the idea of having lots of different people and locations and them all saying what they did. Speeding it up to make a montage of all different ways of saying what they did.
