Today as well as editing I have been trying to drum up some advertisement for our documentary. This is the poster I made to put on facebook and twitter so we can get people talking about our project.

Facebook page update

We now have 82 likes on our facebook page so we are doing really well and have great support! We have asked our twins to invite their friends and family to like the page to so we can advertise it that way aswell. We will release links to our website on this page when the series is released to the public.

Filming Finished

So today we finished filming! The last day was filming our expert for the section, 'Twinformation.' So off we went back to our old school where we both took psychology to interview our old teacher on psychological theories about twins. We didnt need a lighting kit as the school is so bright so we were prepared with all of our kit. The shoot went well and we filmed his set up aswell. Now all the filming is done, we must now crack on with the editing!

Editing Episode 1

The editing for episode 1 is going really well. There are a few sound issues as only one camera recorded the sound and so this made linking up the sound a lot more difficult as I had to lip read to sync them but that is all sorted now and I can begin cutting. Charlotte, Victoria and their mum Carol gave us really good answers and they were all really good talks and so we have a lot of good footage it is going to be hard trying to decide what bits to keep and what to cut out.

It's all really coming together now and me and maddie are both getting really excited to see all our hard work come together.

Twinformation

The sections we have asked our expert to talk about are:

• An overview of twin studies and why they are used.
• Twin telepathy - can twins really tell what the other is thinking
• Twin Pain - can twins feel each others pain
• Twin Dreams - do twins dream the same

And we sent him a few links we thought would help:

Today was the launch of our Twitter page.

The Shoot with the Mac Twins

We have been liaising with the Mac Twin's management for a few months now and today we finally got to meet the girls. The girls were absolutely amazing and they were so professional and being presenters they knew exactly what we wanted and therefore this was definitely our smoothest shoot yet.

 

 I can't wait to start editing and see what our final episodes will look like all together.

 

 

Our Logo

Holly has finished our logos now and so we can start marketing the series. As our all 3 of our episodes contain girls we have decided to use a banner where the stick people have no dresses on so that the series isn't marketed as being gender biased. For each episode the logo is slightly different. The stick people are always in little pink dresses but their positions change to give a bit of individuality to each episode. If we were to make other series in the future these logos could be easily changed so that instead of stick girls in pink dresses there would be stick boys in little blue trousers or even one of each for girl boy twins.

We also have a set of stick people on there own without any text so that we can use this as our profile pictures on different websites such as Facebook and Twitter. And again we decided not to put dresses or trousers on these stick people so that we didn't market the series as a gender biased series.

Today is the launch of our NEW Facebook page promoting Seeing It From Both Sides

Our Expert

When trying to find research for our expert to talk about we found it really difficult as there is not much twin studies that have actually been carried out by pyschologists.
This is a website I found that explains twin studies;

Episode 1: Victoria and Charlotte, Shooting Script

Charlotte and Victoria Shooting Script

Shoot prep- Questions revised

On our last shoot I was reading out the questions to the contributors and found that we hadnt written out the questions in a clear and concise order so it was confusing for us and them and didnt make us look very proffesional. So this time I have deceided to write them out in a order that is easy to understand for me and not confusing for them to answer.

Victoria and Charlotte questions

Who is the oldest?

How identical are you both?

What was life like when you were little?

Where you dressed the same?

What is school like, separate friends/separate classes?

Has either of you got a boyfriend?

Has this ever affected your bond?

Is there ever any jealousy?

Does this instigate competitiveness, are you competitive?

If one of you is in pain does the other one of you feel it?

Have you ever had any twin intuition/thinking the same?

Have you ever switch places?

Do you argue much?

Because your personalities are so similar to you feel more confident together?

Do you spend a lot of time apart?

Do you like being a twin?

Re-Casting

Originally we had cast a set of 2 year olds and we were going to interview their parents but I have tried many times to get in contact with them and I haven't heard anything back and so we have had to re-cast. I had a message on Facebook from a girl who was interested in taking part. I got in touch with her and her and her identical twin sister were more than happy to step in. They are 16 year olds and they are from Essex. I will set up a Skype interview with them so I can ask them my questions and get to know their personalities.

How Identical Twins Are Made

On this website there is an animation on how identical twins are formed we maybe able to use this or something similar for our own documentary.
