Visit to Sumac Centre

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.
