Production Started

After we got commissioned, we started to work on the production of our documentary. we asked the Producer for a copy of there schedule for the weeks leading up to the main event. We didn't get a copy as they didn't have one. we interviewed Sophy Blount and Dave Reid, who are the producers for the show, the location we chose wasn't the best, as we were shooting against the TV studio gallery monitors, so when we white balanced, the colour looked a slight blue, due to the glare of the tv screens.

On Monday we got told that the HNDs were going down to the civic hall to do a location recce and a technical recce, we got told 3pm they would be going down, so as we got their at 3pm, we arrived to find out that they had been there for an hour and they didn't let us know.

On Tuesday afternoon, the HNDs where doing a technical set up, to see how the equipment worked and how it all connected to the vision mixer. my producer and myself had a chat to see if he wanted these shots included. he wasn't too keen, but i thought, we have some back up cutaways, and it would be good experience to see what kind of shots we could use for when at the civic hall. so out off all of our group, i was the only one who stayed to film some cutaways, after watching them back on the edit machine, they came out really good, which can be used in the main documentary.
