150th Blog Post - Road Safety Event

This week has ended in full.

On Thursday we looked at the difference between comics and graphic novels while Digital Imaging, we looked more at Photoshop, such as layering images.

But today was the highlight of the week.

We started early and get set up.  Brian, our lecturer, had brought cameras for recording the event and interviews and cameras for taking still images.  I was part of the interviewing group, but I did go outside to take images of the fire engine and ambulance.  We had the car inside the reception area of the college, and it wasn't till they pushed the remains of the car out through the door after the event at the end of the day that I believed that they did get it in through the doors.  A couple of drama students played as the victims, one taken into the ambulance and a dummy represented as the "dead" victim.  Inside everybody seemed hooked to the event as it unfolded.  Outside, every time we tried to record a video or take a photo, people got into the shot without taking notice of us with our cameras, and it rained and it was cold, but I think that we managed to get good shots and recordings.

After the "rescue", the car was covered up so as not to distress a lady who had lost her daughter in a crash a couple of years ago and had come to talk to the crowd about what happened before and after the crash, and asking everybody to take care while driving, earning an applause.  Even our college principal had a quick word of being careful with driving.

After the event, we managed to get a couple of interviews about the event and road safety before returning our class and handed in our cameras.  Hopefully we'll see our work next week and start to edit them together.  Brain says that after the editing, we might work on another project for the rest of the semester.

I hope that you will be careful when you're driving on the road.

I hope that next week goes well for all of us.

Wish us all luck.
