Today we got our feedback from Darwin College i discovered that they are going to use my video.
They said that the video was 'Very obviously visually 'Risk' and yet also with a subtler massage about street culture and what we perceive as risky behaviour/risky art'.
i am very happy with this because they have understood what me and tom were trying to get at in our video.
They also found the camera angle uncomfortable and not seeing peoples faces added to this feeling.
Altogether i am happy this the feedback i got.

Feed Back
Positive
Im glad people like the sound track of the project, it took me and tom a long time to find it.
People picked up on the speed of the project. it was made so fast because we had a time limit but we also wanted to show how people want to get there 'Art' done and leave before being seen.
people like the concept of out project .
Negative
Although most people liked the fast pace of the video others didn't.
most people don't like the zoom at the end so on reflection i would take it out if i had more time.
people thought it was too dark, again i would lighten the video with more time.
and also add a longer show of the finished work at the end.

Filming
We finaly found a wall to pint on. It’s a wall i knew about, and we went to see it earlier in the day, and went to ask the owner if we could use it. The wall is on the back of persons garage which backs onto an alley. This is what it looked like before we had done anything to it.
We went back to Long Road to get a camera, our paint and masking tape. It took about 20 minutes to drive from college to the wall so we didn't want to go back and forth too much.
We got back to the location with all the equipment and Toms Girlfriend to take pictures of us to use as evidence.
While we were filming putting the masking tape on the wall the camera had turned off. We thought we must have just forgotten to press record and the camera had turned its self off. But when we turned it back on to record again it came up with the message ‘Battery power low”. This was a problem and something we should have checked before we left college. This meant that we had to drive the 20 minutes back to Long. This took a big chunk out of our time and we had planned it so that we wouldn't loose to much light and there wouldn’t be many people walking in front of the camera or questioning us. With much bad luck we arrived back as the village school had finished and there was a lot of kids all over the place. Somehow we managed to do all the spray painting with no interruption which amazed me.
To let the paint dry we left it and went to the car. So when we put the camera back down, it was in a slightly different position. Hopefully this will not be too much of an issue because we sped the video up so much.
We made a Some mistakes which we really should have Avoided. I think the reason that we didn’t is because we were too focused on finding a wall to use and making sure we had enough time to do it.
This is the finished video.

Trying to find location
Me and tom went out today to buy some paint. as we were driving we kept an eye out for a suitable location to paint.
we found a wall on a side road linked to the side of a shop and asked inside if we could use the wall. The man said he did own the wall but wasn't prepared to let us 'Graffiti/vandalise' the wall.
i know of a wall we could use in Sawston we may be able to use. I will ask if we can today and we will film after college on thursday, leaving friday to edit and do anything else we need to finnish.
