Atheist Ireland

Atheist Ireland

Atheist Ireland is an Irish advocacy group. They promote atheism and an ethical, secular society where the State does not support or finance or give special treatment to any Religion.

This links in with our group project work as this organisation is trying to get rid of Religion in all schools and make it optional. I found this organisation online and their website is very helpful : https://atheist.ie/information/about/

Every month they carry out several activities as part of their ‘various campaigns’ In this they include publishing 
·      Articles
·      Lobbying
·      Organising events
·      Attending debates
·      Media interviews

Their priority is to challenge religious discrimination in the Irish education system and Constitution. This includes promoting human rights standards in Irish Law.  

Atheist Ireland have helped Ireland to normalise the use of the word ‘atheism’ in public. They have brought the human rights of freedom of religion or belief, freedom from discrimination and equality before the law to the centre of dialogue about secularism in Ireland.

We faced a lot of problems while making this documentary as i say did a lot of the other groups did when making their group project. We had a few: The big one and the most obvious is that the coronavirus stopped us from filming. We weren't able to get anymore b roll because we couldn't go anywhere to get more as everything was closed and we're not meant to leave our houses so to come over this problem we got b roll online but we weren't able to get b roll that told a story. We also had a problem with communication due to the virus and we it wasn't as easy to have meetings because we weren't able to meet up in person we had to schedule meetings online. We also had the problem of the way were interviewing the students we first stared it as a a vox pop but realised this wasn't the best approach for the documentary so solved this by having long sit down interviews with people who had religious experience We has the problem of where to take the documentary ...

Settings Camera settings: Frame Rate For all of the interviews and b roll we shot it in 24fps. At the start of the filming I didn't understand frame rates but now I feel like I fully understand them. We chose 24fps so we could get the cleanest look with natural motion blur. We didn't use any other frame rate because we didn't plan any slow motion  Shutter Speed Unfortunately I messed up a few interviews in this regard. It isn't very important because there wasnt alot of motion in our interviews and b roll so motion blur wasn't very common anyways but still.

Not great practise but it isn't very noticeable.  Aperture We were using a very fast lense so it was very easy to get a good exposure whether indoor or outdoor. I went a bit crazy with the bokeh and shot almost all of th...
