Documentary Unit - Shoot Day 7

We did not plan to shoot any more footage but after feedback from Zoe and Helen we decided that we needed to film more footage. The plan was to collect Andrew, go to Bluewater to get the B Roll of Andrew trying on the clothes as well as General shop B Roll, then head to strood to get some better opening shots for the Pole Fitness segment and then head to George's town to film more audio on my microphone as well as the ending scene of the documentary.

Task 1: Bluewater (John lewis B Roll)
On advice from our rough cut review we decided to go back to john lewis and get the b-roll that we can use to cover what ryan says about the in/out fashion right now. As Ryan is not the most enthusiastic interviewee we had to make it exciting somehow so we decided to get Andrew to do some funny moves and faces when he tried on the clothes. It should make the John lewis segment drastically more interesting to see Andrew in the clothes being talked about.

Task 2: Pole Fitness B Roll

We had good footage from the first shoot but we just needed more of it. We made the trip to strood to get that vital footage to make the intro to the segment a lot sleeker. As Cailan was editing it we asked him what he wanted and more general shots of the area was what he wanted. On my camera I was recording the intro PTC which was eventually ditched for a voiceover whilst Cailan and George got the B Roll that we intended to get.

Cailan got a nice shot of the train pulling away.

Whilst George and I tried to get a PTC Intro.

Task 3: Outro and Audio patch-work
We had yet to record a non-commentary ending so we decided to film that in a quiet location in Meopham, it was simple but worked and left the documentary on a nice note.

We probably could have worked around the audio that we already had but it made most sense to just record the exact parts that we needed. Andrew, helpful as ever stayed around for a few extra hours to make sure that we got what we needed.

That wrapped up our final days shoot, it was not planned to be so late but it was a super-productive day and we all enjoyed working with Andrew once again, honestly we could not have got a nicer guy to present our documentary.
