Yesterday was our 7th session of Time Report and we filmed all of the scenes with the Weather Reporter. The part of the Weather Reporter is being played by Craig, who has Down's Syndrome. In our film, the Weather Reporter is sent to report on hurricanes in Norfolk in the year 2092. He also has to deliver his weather report in a blizzard and torrential rain! Yesterday was spent breaking up bits of polystyrene into tiny balls to look like snow. It took a very long time! We then filmed Craig against a green screen where we showered him with our fake snow, it was great fun for everyone but very messy! You can watch Craig's excellent performance here:
All the footage the children recorded yesterday will now be selected for the edit. Once the group have chosen all the clips they want to use, we will transform this footage in the edit program Final Cut Pro to take out the green background and replace it with a freezing, wintry scene. We'll then add arctic wind sound effects to complete the shot.
And if the current weather reports are anything to go by, we'll be able to film our own snowy backgrounds soon!
