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.

It's all groovy baby
Hello dedicated filton followers, I have news of beautiful things for this project. The footage from the first batch of super 8 came out marvelously, there was a hair on the lens which couldn't be helped because on that camera the lens you look through isn't the same as the one your filming on. But that is it. I can't really fix it as it will mean importing all the frames into photoshop and editing it from there. I a) can't be bothered and b) that's the joy and misery of analogue film. More importantly the quality in terms of light is great, and the shots despite me not using a tripod are not that shaky. Filton has been transformed to the 60's. I AM ON CLOUD NINE, SO HAPPY AND RELIEVED. Next is the second batch. But at least now I have 6 minutes of usable film. More black and white photographs will be going up shortly and I WILL start on the narratives this weekend. This has spurred me on a bit, I was losing the will.
