Shisha awareness advert.

We have been given the task to make a short advert to inform people of our age the risks of smoking shisha. After compiling research together we found an advert for the Guiardian involving the three little pigs in modern day london. We quickly decided to do something similar. Alice in Wonderland but in a modern day environment. We quickly sorted a shot list an did a test run of shots. It didn't go to well and started to look a bit dodgy and we struggled to acquire the dress. We had a big meeting with everyone involved and a couple of tutors. We discussed where we were going wrong. I think we got stuck on one idea that was a bit too ambitious. Our discussion lead us to what Shisha actually is. It doesn't make you hallucinate and it doesn't change your mood, so what is the point. Why would you smoke it? None of us could see a point. It's just the same as smoking cigarettes with even more of a health risk. So we stared to have ideas that questioned and mocked Shisha. We split into two groups each focusing on a different idea.
Idea 1
Idea one focuses on the ingredients. It's a short cooking show about John the chef making Shisha.
Idea 2
Idea two focused more on the cost and a bit on the social side of Shish. It's a short snippet from a shopping channel selling shisha. 

Even though we had split into two small teams we still intended to work together when filming. I worked on idea 2.
We started by watching a few clips of shopping channels on Youtube.One that really caught our attention was one that's trying to do the same thing as us. It's for AK-47s.
Teleshopping AK-47

We started working on a script soon after. At about the same time idea 1's team had finished their scrip and were ready to film.

Filming Cooking with John
So I walked into the T.V. studio with the idea that I would be working on camera or maybe floor managing. Nope Not today because our actor is suddenly busy and can't make it. According to our director, "The jacket is just your size." So I became John and had no time to learn the script that had been written. I didn't mind too much, I just wanted to get a feel for using cameras again. There is always next time though. On the other hand everyone had fun we got the shots we wanted and we made a funny little cooking show. Oh I almost forgot the other problem. The two key points for this was to have John the chef from the college cafe and a blender. So we don't have John and now the blender doesn't work. I was expecting the cameras to brake next with the luck we were having.We worked around the problems and filmed 9 takes before accepting that we had enough. Here is a shot of me being Chef John.

Now we get to editing. Even though I opted to work on idea 2 I wanted to assist with the editing for Cooking with John. This ended up with me editing it. Not a problem with that. What there was a problem with was sound. Takes 3-7 didn't have working sound. I made do with what working footage we had. After editing the footage the director turned up, so I left him to add the text, such as a list of the ingredients.
