I visited the Sumac Centre with Benjamin Homer with the sole
focus of obtaining footage, in order for us to create a promotional video for
the centre. Our college class as a whole are creating one promotional video for
the centre in order to help gain awareness of the centre, what they’re all
about and what they do.
It took me and Ben a good one hour walk to find the Sumac
Centre however we were still okay to record on arrival. The children there were
very lively and excited to see us because they thought they were going to be
put on TV. Which in a sense I suppose they are, almost. We got all the children
to sign a photo-release form as well as the adults helping the children there.
We began recording cut-away footage mostly and any footage
that could go over any voice-overs.
We were also treated to a nice cup of tea
from the nice lady who introduced us to everyone there. After we obtained all
of our cut-away footage, which we took turns in recording, Ben then decided to
have a talk with the children and record it at the same time, which would go
great in the promotional video.
We got plenty of footage, however it would have been nice to
interview some of the adults that work there, but we were unable to due to us
and them being short on time.
Overall it was a pleasant experience at the
Sumac centre, we got to meet some very nice people and a fantastic opportunity
to gather footage in order to create something special to something that has so
much potential.
