The Filton Suburb Project
My name is Ella Frost and I'm in my final year of my degree studying Audio and Music Technology. For my final year project I am making a documentary on a suburb of Bristol called Filton. I am shooting it all on super 8 film and the narrative is composed of interviews with foreign temporary students living in Bristol and active members of the community.

The film is finished but the blog will continue
I've decided to continue with the blog, even though the film is complete. It would be a good resource for anyone interested in documentaries and I will be submitting the film to film festivals so I can keep track of them using the blog. I'll post the mark I get (if it's any good). I hope i do well. I'm pleased with the film which is the main point but it is still quite critical and I wish I didn't care as much as I do.
Anyways the king of kong is pretty entertaining, the crucial moment of the entire film (where Billy is circling Steve with his supremely hot wife) I almost did not recognise. But this is the moment you realise Billy is full of shit and a coward.

one quarter of audio left to go, end is in sight, uni is quiet and still, think im going a bit mad
The Filton Suburb Project Is Complete
well to a certain degree anyway, enough to hand in. It is dedicated to Ivar Lewis Veux seeing as they were created in around the same time and I could not have done it without his mother, Emilie Lewis, lending me her camera, which I am very grateful for. Also I forgot to get her flowers so this is a more permanent sentiment. I have also thanked Marcus Lynch and Bill Cargill, for guiding the project. Bill also transcribed several interviews which is about the dullest most helpful thing you can do.

Hello World
I am currently at university pulling a late one due to an over indulged nap which means I will not be sleeping for a good few hours, so I might as well get some work done. I've just done the first 40secs of audio for the film, which I believe is the most important. I'm using snippets of conversation and gradually fading them in and out. 2 tracks of audio ambience (mostly birds, occasionally traffic) will be running continuously panned hard left and right. I think a smattering of chatter will also be in the background pretty much constantly and dip in out according to if the main narrative is present.

First Edit of Film Complete
The first edit of the film has been done. Tonight I will add atmosphere and wild tracks to the film and render a copy safe. If there is time I will re mix the audio of the interviews. But I honestly think they sound okay, possibly a bit of level tweaking but I can do that in Final Cut Pro, and that means I have them exactly placed where I want them. I will be doing the atmos etc in Logic, bouncing it as a single audio file then putting that into Final Cut.
