Access to Farnham Filming

For one of our features we have decided to write on how accessible Farnham is. We decided to do this by using three different forms of transport and conducting a race from somewhere back to Farnham.

We all agreed that the place we should be trying to access Farnham from was Guildford. We thought this would be good as it is the nearest city to Farnham and young people may want to go there to experience the nightlife or the shopping. Guildford also has direct routes to London, and many other places, from the train station.

The three methods of transport that we decided to use were car, train and bus.

We hoped that our website would not only be informative but also fun for someone to look at, so we decided that a good way to do this feature would be to film our separate journeys that made up our race.

Sophie and Adam decided that they would go on the train; Liz took the bus whilst Sam and I used the car. We all met at the University, rented some video equipment, and made our way to Guildford train station. Once at Guildford train station we decided to meet back at Farnham train station and then went our separate ways, to film our journeys.

Once the race was complete we then had to edit our videos as we did not want them to be too long, or an audience may get bored. I found the editing a little challenging at first as I do not study TV and therefore I had little knowledge of Adobe Premier Pro, the editing programme. However the editing we needed to do was quite simple and I was happy with our finished videos.

The videos will be incorporated in the written feature on the website.

Page Template

The idea of our website is to change people's thoughts on Farnham and make it seem more interesting for younger people. In order to achieve this, not only do we need interesting content, but we also need the design of out website to say this aesthetically. We want the design to look quite edgy and the exact opposite from what people would normally associate with Farnham.

To achieve this we looked for templates on the internet and found one that we thought would work well with our website idea. We liked this template because it would fit in with how we wanted to lay out our pages but also would appeal to a younger audience.

We also decided that Adam would design the website banner for us. We decided on a graffiti style of writing and we were all very pleased with what Adam designed. You can see the banner below.
