Last week we transcribe the scripts and we created our shot log to start editing in an more organized way. When i started the editing i didnt notice that in some videos the sound quality wasnt very good because of background music and sounds, so i had to transcribe the script and i am deciding if i steal use the visual of the video with subtitles (but it would sound messy and not comfortable) or if ill present it in another way such as written or with v.o in b-roll. After observing all the videos we decided to choose videos that had the best sound quality and that looked good. We found between the videos that some of the tatooers repeated the question we asked, so we can use the tecnic in the documental "Super size me" in the scene in which the lawyer repeats the question and another character answers, We could cut the part in which the tattoer repeats the question we asked and then we could include the aswers of several tattoers. We thought it would be a very clever tecnic to use so that our voices dont appear repeatively in the documental and it would be a faster way to put all the information together and mantain people interested.
TODAY IS MY B'DAY! :)

On Tuesday the 23rd of august (Last week) our whole film studies class skiped classes to film. In our group, Giuliana Viveka and I got together at about 9.30 in viveka's department, had breakfast and organized our selves, checking we had all the memory cards and the batteries full. We wanted first to visit Henry's tatto place but he didnt answer our mails neither our phon calls so we went to La Bond Street. At about 10.30am we started our filming day: we firts visited la bond street and took some establishing shots for our B-roll material. Then we walk through the whole gallery and we asked permition to film in a new place we found. The first tattooer we interviewed was called Gerardo, and when we saw him he was designing a tattoo. He was really helpfull, he knew a lot about the history of tattoos and many other things. We got a great shot of him because while he was answering our question you can see in the background part of his design.
The second place we went to was new also. The man we interviewed was a tattoer and also an actor. His name was Richard. Richard new a lot about tattoos also. He invited us to film him while he was tattooing which was great! Richard was very helpfull and new a lot about cameras, he was a very positive person.
After that we had lunch in McDonalds. During lunch we transfered all our material to my computer and we also charged vivekas camera battery. After having a perfect useful morning the afternoon arrived, when we got back to La Bond Street no one wanted to help us with the documentary, we interviewed Gerardo again and then we interviewed another tattooes which wasnt very helpfull, because he wasnt quite aware of the history of tattoos and the dangers they can and they cant have. After that we visited the first place we visited before winter holidays, but the owner was quite distracted, we felt disapointed about that cause when we filmed there the last time they were very positive and sympathic.
During the filming we all helped by asking the questions we needed to be answered, and viveka controlled the camera. She did an excellent job. We were proud of us cause we were very organized and followed part of our shot list. Also last week we worked labelling our videos and analizing them which was very organized and helpfull also.

Last weekend, our aim was to visit the tattoo places and get several shots to start editing, but we couldnt because i was sick!! We are going this weekend.
In the las 8 weeks we have progressed a lot with Skin Productions, we produced our storyboard with our100word summary with our aims and ideas. W also took several shots of the places and the people we will be working with.
WEEK 1
On our first week of work we assigned each member of the production a pacticular role to have through out the production and we chose a name for our production:
Skin Production´s
Giuliana: Cameraman & Producer. Giuliana got these roles because she was absent and these where the roles left.
Viveka: Researcher & Talent. Viveka chose to be the reseacher because she really liked the idea of studying the history of tattoos, an she chose the talent cause she is a very outstanding person that could appear talking in the video with out problem.
Sabrina (ME): Editor and writer. I am the writer and the editor because i am the most artistic in the group, i really like to write and draw, i think i am very creative and also i was the only one that had worked with editing programs.
At the end of our first week we had to have a completed pitch and present it to the PE. At first we chose to work with a non-profitable company, FILOCHICOS, that helped to educate and teach poor children about higene, maths, and several other, but then we had a problem which was that it would be very difficult to achieve what we wanted because we would have to ask permition to every kid´s parents for them to appear in the video and we didnt have enough time to contact each parent. While we waited for an answer from FILOCHICOS telling us if we could work with them and the children or not, we came up with a better idea for our documentary with was the art of tattoos.
WEEK 2
On the second week we presented our story board and story outline for FILOCHICOS, but as we wanted to change to tattoos, we also presented our new pitch which was accepted by the EP.
WEEK 3
On the third week we presented our new story board and storyoutline, as that weekend we had already visited and asking permition to film in the tattoo places, we were ahead of all our partners because we asked permition and contacted several owners of several tattoo places. We also presented our research documents 2. For this week we already had pictures and videos of our visit to the tattoo places!! We are an organized group ahead of the rest, we have several interviews and videos of people being tattooed that we took for ourselves. We have a very good relation with the tattooers and they enjoyed being part of our documentary and loved to help us and keep helping us to create an interesting 5 minute film.
WEEK 4
For our 4th week we had to scout locations, which we already had. We created our list of locations including shots of the places.
WEEK 5
Last week we learned what a shot list was and what was it for. We worked on a shot list organizing ourselves and choosing how we will work with the shots we have and the shots we need to get to acomplish the documentary we are planning to do, including details of the V.O we are going to use , the music, and the speed and order of each still and moving shot that we are going to use.

Last weekend we were going to visit La Bond Street but we couldn't for some personal issue.
On Saturday I downloaded several editing programs to try them and choose the best and the easiest to work with. The best for me was AVS VIDEO EDITOR and i`ve worked with it the whole weekend learning different ways to edit and get everything together, I am still discovering different ways to make it more interesting.

My group for the documentary film is with Viveka and Giuliana, we are the only girls in the class. When we started to work on our documentary film by choosing the theme, we first chose to create a documentary film about poor children in Argentina and work with the non- profitable organization: Filochicos. When we ask permition to a woman in charge of it, she told us it would be very dificult and complicated for us to do it so we chose another theme which we liked more. We chose to change our theme to tattoos; the story of the tattoos, what meaning do they have, etc...
When we presented our film pitch on the tattoo documentary, our teacher really liked it. So the next day Viveka and I visited this famous gallery in Buenos Aires called "Bond Street", which is a "gothic" kind gallery full of tattoos and piercings shops. We took a couple of shots and videos and I, personally, talked with the owners of the most important tattoo shops on the gallery and asked them permition and their colaboration to film our documentary.
My roles in the documentary film is being the writer which means that I create the storyboard, and the script. And my other role it to be the editor which means that when we have all the material we need I have to paste it together and choose what i like the most to create an entretaining and interesting documentary.
