'Top Gear' Style Race

Today we filmed our ‘top gear’ style race. This was for one of our features for the site. The idea behind it is too start at a set location and then race back in a car, on a train and on a bus; to determine which is the best way too travel.
We decided to video these and this will mean we can have the videos on the site along side the written feature.

Me and Lauren drove, Adam and Sophie got the train and Liz and a friend got the bus. We all started at Guildford train station and raced back too Farnham train station.

The equipment we used to film was really easy to use. We then took the footage back to uni, and edited it.

This was loads of fun to film, and will give our website a lot more interactivity. We decided to edit the videos into each separate journey, rather one long film. This will give our website viewers a chance to pick and choose the videos they want to watch.

We now have to upload the videos onto the site.

Hunting Ghosts

Farnham is known to be haunted so for my feature, I went out and hunted ghosts.

This involved me going to Waverley Abbey, Farnham’s Parish Church and Farnham Castle.

I decided to do this as a feature as it is an interesting subject. When you Google haunted places in Farnham you are met with loads of sites which claim what has been seen. But as an unbeliever in ghosts I wanted to do a different take on a Farnham ghost hunt. This will also attract more people to our site.

You can read how my hunt went on the site.
