Sunday 30th March

Weather not as bad today so at 4pm same time as day before, braved the cold breeze and drizzle to gather more footage. This time i wasnt able to get inside the school.. damn! Made use of the no rain though and shot a whole lot of outdoor footage. Traveling up into the school, my personal introduction (yep i filmed myself) and a lot of footage showing traces of people. Sock on the field, cut tree in the arbaretum, footprints on the roof (and yes i ninja'd onto the roof) and a real cool detailed exploration of the playground fort in which i found a whole lot of graffeti, all perfect for my video. In shooting my footage ive decided to change my original concept and instead what i am doing is looking at what traces of ourselves we leave behind at school, after a long school day what essence or trace of us remains at the school while our physical selves leave the grounds and goes home. What i have found this to include is peoples graffeti around the school, making there mark, clothes such as jackets or socks and shoes out on the field after playing out on the field and forgetting to pick them back up. Its such things as these i want to present in my video whilst i also capture the space that is Ngaio School.
