I took a video diary with the intention of relaying my thoughts and emotions to the camera, as I was by myself throughout this experience. It was very useful because it made me get of my head and explore how I feeling at the time, rather than just go along with the experience and have a buildup of emotions at the end. I didn't take a vlog during the actual vigil, which in retrospect I regret. However, at the time I didn't do this because the feel of the vigil was very personal, and because I had never met these people before I spent a lot of time getting to know everyone, and there just wasn't a right time for me to step away and take a vlog. I hope this is reflected in my film. I didn't script any of my vlogs, as you may notice through the amount of stammers and pauses I take to gather my thoughts. I wanted my feelings and emotions to come across realistically and in-the-moment, which turned out to be a much more emotional experience than I imagined. Upon reflection, there is a clear contrast between my 'ignorance is bliss' happy mood at the beginning, where I clearly wasn't thinking about what I was about to see or take part in, compared to my reflective thoughts at the end of the vigil.
