Within my group we have decided to go with the idea of tattoos as a community, we did also have another avenue of community we could explore which was nude models, but decided we wanted it to be a visually diverse film so chose tattoos.
We had a meeting with Anne to discuss our progress, and I have inserted a picture of notes Nina took whilst in the meeting. In the meeting we talked with Anne what we wanted to achieve visually, finding the stories behind the tattoos and making it personal to engage the audience. We also wanted to include a running theme of community, highlighting the important and interesting things people had to say on being a part of the community.
After the meeting had finished, we decided to get in to contact people we knew with tattoos, and we also wrote on the UCA Fresher's page to ask if anyone would be so kind as to help be a contributor in our documentary. Within the next few days we had had so many replies of interest. Nina was the producer for our group, so she kindly put together a schedule of people we would see the following Monday to record their stories.
However, my partner was having a tattoo done near by on the Saturday, so we decided we would film it for visual cut aways and allow the audience to explore and observe the process. We had no time to waste so managed to book the equipment out on the Friday with a completed risk assessment and call sheets and we were ready to go, with my partner and tattoo artist soon to fill out release forms.
Here are some images from the shoot
