Week beginning 26th FebWell, on Thursday we were given the timetable and the laptop to begin our editing. We did no editing on Friday because myself, Rav and Pav weren't in so Ramone felt that it'd be better to begin editing as a group from the following Monday.
Monday 5th March...
During this week, myself, Rav and Ramone have been coming in at 8:00 and working after school to capture all of our shots. But there's been problems; Capturing shots on the laptop is very difficult because the camera decides to stop functioning after capturing 2-3 shots which means we have to turn the camera on/ off until it decides to work again. Then, i requested to work on a computer to finish off the rest of the capturing, and once we captured all the shots Mr Baboo decides to tell us that the computer crashed down and all out shots got deleted!!
So, on Friday, me Rav and Ramone came in at 8 again, worked though our 4 free periods and then after school again to capture those shots that got deleted and make sure that we can fully start editing on Monday again.
Now that all the capturing is done, this week we aim to:
* Get the opening done
* Start on the montage sequence for how the media portrays graffiti.
So far, the technical difficulties have really slowed our work down but now we as a group are more determined that ever not to let this hold us down...!

We’re long past the art movements of “Cubism” and “Pop Art” which gained popularity for its innovative and complex styles, or for the fact that the artists who founded the movements were seen as reputable and legitimate. Now, we’re in an era of an art form whose artist’s are unrecognisable, silent and concealed to the whole world. This form of art sprawls through our railways, tube stations, streets, on shops… wherever it can arrest attention. It’s considered the most controversial movements of all times, and despite efforts to prevent it, it keeps growing. This movements, is known as “Graffiti.”
“Aerosoldiers” is a fabulously well edited, extremely chic documentary that fulfils its purpose as it successfully catches the attention of its teenage audience to inform and educate them (and others) on graffiti. ! Aerosoldiers” provides a fresh, and original stance as it presents several viewpoints of the matter whilst maintaining its fast paced, visually gripping, creative use of editing.
From interviews with a major graffiti artist manager to the voice of a local artist, “Aerosoldiers” is one documentary that remains memorable for breaking out of documentary conventions to bring to us an inventive and unusual insight into this ever-growing craze.
Interesting Facts:
On the way to Tottenham Court Road, me and Rav were arguing because we couldn’t find the graffiti exhibition (and we were going round in circles for literally 3 hours!) and our whole argument was recorded on tape! – We found it later when we were capturing…!
I accidentally recorded over Ramone’s really important interview with ‘nefue’… but I managed to hide that from him!
The bulk of our documentary was recorded illegally… luckily Ramone and his friends weren’t caught!
