re-filming archive material

Today we re-filmed the archive material of the hairstyles from over the years because the camera movement we decided to use was too much for the small edits we needed and the shots didn't look right in the documentary as the movements were different speeds.  The footage we filmed is much better and  it will definatly be good enough to put in our documentary.

Archive material filming

Today we filmed the archive material for the ginger headlines which will feature in the documentary. The filming went really good and the footage will definatly be used in our documentary. The archive material was headlines of discrimination against people with ginger hair and news stories about ginger hair.

Archive material filming
