Notts County Doc update...

We have found a person who will be the key person who drives our story (Pete IronMonger - a relative of the IronMonger, a goalkeeper who played for Notts County in the early 1900's). This person has been a Notts County for a very long time, therefore we will be able investigate Notts County through time in a good way. This is what the theme will be for the documentary - Notts County through the eyes of a long term and dedicated fan. We will show Notts County through the years and how it has development/changed and how this has had an effect on other things like the number of fans and why their popularity has changed and the causes of this. In the meeting today we discussed all of this and identified five points that we will include to make it an interesting narrative.

Trips have been made to the BBC nottingham to get in touch with Colin Slater (Notts County commentator), and the the evening post to get a copyright for some images we want to include in our film. Finally to the Notts County ground to talk to the head of the supporters group. We have now got someone (Iris - Head of the fan club/supporters group) who is now helping us to get interviews with some real dedicated fans who will hopefully, have many stories and views on how the club has changed over the years.

MALac complete

On Tuesday, Me and Alan, after alot of discussion and work fnished the final edit of the MALac project and we think we did a pretty decent job of it. We were however, as a group, in some concern about certain elements (E.G. sound, lighting) which we changed and then did a second edit. The first edit can be seen from the following link:

Great Opportunity!

Ok, as you all might know theres alot of channel 4 films/short films being filmed all around nottingham. About a month back i was on my way to uni and up the road from me there were loads of channel 4 vans parked up and big bright lights surrounding a house. So, i asked the woman there what was going on and she told me channel 4 were shooting a film about a young girl (ive forgot the name of it now even though i could find out if needed). Anyway, i told her i do multimedia and films etc and im interested in this field. After having a conversation with her i asked her that i would be interested in sort of helping out with anything as voluntary if i could. She told me to come back the following wednesday as that was when they were to start shooting. I went down and watched the filming, asked questions, seen how things were done, got to do a few things with lights etc and overall was a great experience!
So find out where and when films around nottingham are being filmed and get involved!
