Unit 27: Factual Film Programme Production Techniques for Television - Filming Day 1: 25/11/16

Friday 25th November 2016:

Our first day of filming for our Spiritualist Documentary about Mediums that work above the local Greggs, known as Gifted & Blessed. Upon our arrival we met with Angeline and Ian. We split up into two groups, with Matty and Kane being the inside team, preparing cutaways on the proper Sony Camera, whilst I took Taylor outside to film establishing shots on the DSLR Camera, with which to open the film and show off the location to make the film begin with a nice intro, with Gifted and Blessed at the centre. Once this was done, we met up and chatted to Angeline about the potential of getting interviews with herself and Ian.

Ian was in a meeting with a customer, so we formally declared a Greggs break. When we retirned, Ian had prepared himself for a 20 minute interview, Kane on the static Sony camera (set up by Matty and Taylor) as well as doing the interviews, Matty using the DSLR to film from other angles in a more moving and behind-the-scenes style. Taylor took photos for our in-college film business (@ufilms_), and I sat there to overlook everything, make sure it was okay, as well as watching Matty's footage. A woman named Debbie was filmed because she contributed to a discussion, but she did not want to be on camera. After this, another medium named Bernie arrived for our second interview, and I took the role of business photographer, while Matty took the static camera and Taylor took the DSLR. Kane's voice asked questions again for consistency. We then did a very short interview with Angeline, but the room was small so no photos were taken.

Once we were finished with this, we packed up and left, ready to copy footage and begin our editing.
