Diary Account Of Our Filming

We done all of our filming on red nose day. The reason why we chose to film on that day is because it was the time last year that she was diagnoised with schizophrenia. So filming on this day was really hard because we did not really grasp the whole concept of why we were filming. We had an idea in our heads that we will go around the whole school and film students doing different activities and it will show that Naomi is involved in school activities, however it was hard to bring that idea to life.

When we first started, we told Naomi to introduce herself to the camera so the audeince knows who she is so she will be acting as a narrator and at the same time the patient with schizophrenia but then we thought about it and clocked that we have not really seen documents that do that. So we moved to another idea and that is that we will film Naomi, getting involved in school activities and pretending that the camera is not reallly there. I would say that the concept did not work very well so we just told her to hang around with her friends while we film her.

This was a really good idea and from there we moved the filming to an interview room. The room was painted white with green chairs and a table in the middle, which followed the conventions of how an interview room looks like. The interview went smoothly and our interviewer was a teacher.


After the interview, we filmed some teachers on what red nose day means to them. Later on we filmed my psychologist teacher who acted like a psychiatrist at the school and she was talking about the symptoms of schizophrenia and the diagnosis of the illness.


Overall, I had a fun day filming on this day and it was enjoyable to see soo many people getting involved on this day.
