Reflections 17- Shoot Day

Shooting began at 9:00am when I met Lauren and Shahid to pick up all the equipment from Lauren's. We then took all the equipment over to the studio, set up and began filming at 10:00am. Our first interviewee, Rosie, arrived around 10:30am followed by Rob. The problem that we faced was that people turned up at different times throughout the day, however by 6:00pm we had filmed everyone and got more than enough footage that we were satisfied with.

On the day, we decided that our first shot of each interviewee would be of them holding a photo that meant something to them such as a time when they were at home with their friends, which seemed to be the most popular kind of photo. There were some interviewees that felt nervous and didn't speak too much, which may be eventually cut out, however there were some that spoke a lot unexpectedly, which was great. After we finished packing up, we took all the equipment back to Lauren's and took all the footage off of the camera, and put it on Lauren's main PC and Hard Drive, so we had a back up in case anything went wrong. Overall the shoot itself I felt was successful.

If I was to do the shoot again I would organise the shoot in a more detailed way, so that we would not have to wait around for some people, which sadly happened at times during the day. In addition to this, I feel that we could've possibly got more out of some of the people that were interviewed due to some being quite shy about opening up to the questions.

Here are some behind the scenes photos:
