Watford Ladies Commission: Shoot Day 1

Day 1 of filming for this commission was originally going to take place on Tuesday, however, due to some commitments of the general manager Ed, it had to be moved back to Wednesday.

This did mean I would have to film more footage on my final two days at the training session. Alex Hargood helped me with filming today and would be the main camera operator as I would be presenting the piece. I knew Alex would be great with the camera from the previous projects he has worked on. "Choosing the right cast and crew for your upcoming video production may not seem like a science, but there are key elements to keep in mind so the end product is successful. " (ambientskies,2016) 

We arrived around two hours early and did a quick recce of the location as we could not access the training pitch before the team arrived. "Before you can start filming, it is not uncommon to visit the location to make sure it meets your production requirements from both a creative and practical point of view" (elementtwentysix, 2017) It was a very open area with no obvious trip hazard as well as being a very flat ground so everything looked very safe before we started filming. It was important to do this because I had not had the opportunity to recce before the day of shooting as the location is very far from my house.

Around 30 minutes before the team was scheduled to arrive we set up the cameras, setting white balance and ISO etc "Many photographers have been disappointed at the end of a shoot to find that they’d forgotten to check what ISO setting they’d left their camera on in their last shoot." (Digital Photography School, 2014) Alex suggested that we make the cameras look as similar as possible before shooting so that there would be less need for color correction when it comes to editing. We set up outside adjusting the cameras outside as we thought this would be where they would be used (this would not be the case) and we managed to nearly exactly match the colors, light etc on both cameras for outside conditions.

We expected to interview a few players so we would have a side view on a tripod and Alex would be filming an over the shoulder shot looking at the player, we discussed how it would be filmed and handheld seemed to make the most sense when filming an over the shoulder shot.

However nearly all of our plans where throw out the window once we met with Ed. Unfortunately, the club is going through a tough time and only a few players turned up for training. We also did not get told that today would not be an outside training session it would be more of training strength and conditioning. After we got the news we had to think on our feet to get something filmed today.

Ed suggested we talk to one of the injured players who had just got surgery, this was actually a great idea because it shows something different to what a lot of people think about when they think about football. " Sometimes the most interesting stories are hidden in the margins of other ones" (Film AV Club, 2014) This was obviously a change of plan but we did a great job of getting something filmed in a very tough situation. It actually was interesting to get to understand more about a subject that I had not planned for. In a way, this probably was actually more interesting than what I had planned. Alex and I both set up a tripod, Alex got the close up while I got the wide angle. It was a very tight area and we also had an additional 6 people in the room who were not being interviewed so it was a tough place to film.

Below are screenshots of the angles we got. We interviewed three players as well as the physiotherapist who gave us some great behind the scenes information about injuries that the general viewer would probably not know about. I think we did a very good job to adapt to the circumstances, we also acted very professional and filmed some really nice shots which will look good in the final piece. We also got some cutaway shots that will be used for then they are talking about injuries as it will make the interview more interesting.

I think we did the best job we could possibly do in this scenario. It was not planned in my original script which is most likely going to have to completely re-written due to circumstances out of my control, but I think in a way it may have made the documentary more interesting as it shows something that a lot of people do not think about. "Planning goes a long way in preparation, but, documentaries are notoriously slippery to wrangle into a schedule, since a new inspiration can lead the documentary into a direction never imagined." (ScriptMag, 2014) At first, I was worried this may hurt the documentary. But it worked out well and after the initial worry, I realised it would work.

I would obviously have loved to have stayed to my script because it would make it easier to edit, however with what is happening with the club recently it means it would be hard to have filmed everything I wanted. If I were to do this again I would probably have asked Ed exactly what was going on on each day's training so I could have planned my script and shooting schedule a little better, but that is a learning experience that I have taken already from this project. However, we must still admit with many of the players not attending training it would have been tough to plan anything for today's shoot.

We also filmed some shots of one of the players in the gym. She was one of only a couple of first teams players in today meaning it would be good to get shots of what she was doing in the gym and most likely I will overlay some voiceover. I liked that we went to the effort to get every shot possible. It was more or less 90 minutes of non-stop filming. We ran into difficulties with camera batteries though, with the "main" camera running very low on battery with a worry that it was going to run out. "If you’re shooting in the outdoors, you’d better have a least one extra battery for every camera that you own. Especially if you do any cold weather photography" (danbaileyphoto, 2014) This was important to know because it means I will most likely buy another battery to make sure we don't run into such battery related worries in the future. It seems silly but you never think it will be an issue until it actually happens. This has made me more aware that a second battery would always be handy.

Once we filmed everything we could do inside we wanted to film some of the pieces to camera. With a big script re-write ahead of me, I did have to think on my feet slightly about what. I looked at the script and talked to Alex about what he thought may be best, we decided to shoot all the possible PTC so that if I need them in the edit, I have them. We set up in three locations to make sure that it was not filmed in all the same place, this is because as we missed yesterday we had to still pretend we were there. This meant filming some parts as if they where the day before, which we hope people will not recognize. I researched into what conventions I should follow. I found this useful video which showed me a lot about being a presenter.

This is something ideally we would have not done but because of the unavailability of some of the club members, we could not attend. I was ready to record on Tuesday, but when the news came through on the Monday that we would not be filming I still wanted to make sure we got that footage as if it was Tuesday today.

We did struggle with lighting in this part of the shoot, it was pitch black anyway, but there were big lights lighting up the training pitch but they did not help us that much without the shoot. I did have a LED light on top of the camera which did help and made sure that my face did have some light on it, but we had to make sure we did not have the light on too high because then it looked unrealistic and pretty bad.  We did have the training pitch as a backdrop in all three of the pieces to camera which was very good and on the theme, even though on Wednesday at least we did not actually have any outside training.

We got some last cutaway shots of me walking into the building which can be used to transition between scenes. Overall I think today we did a great job at working with what we got. We could not control the circumstances at the club meaning filming was very tough but we filmed enough to make it work in the project even though it does mean a big script re-write.

Alex was fantastic today, helping me film and also letting me know his thoughts on how certain shots should be done and we always found a shot that worked. Having two cameras helped get extra angles which will be a massive help in editing but we did have the issues with one camera om the last legs of its battery. The Tascam recorded some great audio and it was important that we used it as there was some wind and that would have been picked up if we had used the normal shotgun mic. Luckily I had done a lot of planning before shooting meaning even when a scenario like today happened, I had a lot of backup ideas and different ways of telling the story. It will be frustrating to re-do the script but it will be worth it.

Watford Ladies Commission: Pre-shooting Commission Process

From the outset I always wanted to do a commission. Over the summer I had been writing down ideas that I thought of. However when the commission was talked about in the unit briefing it mentioned that it would have to be working for a company, which made me second think it. However after looking at the other options I thought the commission makes by far the most sense for me personally. One of my ideas from the summer was talking about the evolution of women’s football and how over the last few years it really is taken seriously among the media.

With this idea I emailed all of the WSL1 and WSL2 (the top two tiers of women's football) clubs and talked through my ideas for the project and also let them know that even though I came to them with the idea, they would have the power to change what they did not want as well as tell me what should be filmed etc. I ended up having a good conversation with three clubs; Millwall, Liverpool and Watford. Millwall was the first to reply and did seem interested in the project, but then they suddenly stopped replying to my emails and even after attempts to see what was happening, nothing materialised. Liverpool said that they would check questions and ideas with the club, after sending these to them they never ended up responding. 

Watford however, really liked the project and we had a great email discussion, firstly with Helen who is in charge of the marketing at Watford, and then Ed who is a general manager at the club. They were very interested in my idea and suggested that I come to the Watford vs Arsenal cup game on the 16th of November. I had started planning for this idea and it all seemed to be going well until the unfortunate announcement I mentioned earlier. Watford announced they would be being demoted to the third tier meaning a video showing the evolution of women's football may not make much sense if they are dropping down. At this point I was worried, as all my ideas were now pretty useless and I had no company to work for as they said they could not work on the project because of what was happening to the club. 

I had to think quickly on this one, because I felt we could still create a great video, but the subject would have to significantly change. I decided to respond saying we could do a “week behind the scenes” where we show what the club does on the build up to a game as well as any possibly community work the club does to help the local area. Thankfully they really liked this idea and I got working on this straight away. I knew this had put me on the backfoot but I decided that it was just a small hurdle and I could get around it. After a few more emails back and forth with the club we decided upon a shoot week. This would be from 27th November to the 3rd of December. This would be the build up to the London bee’s away game on the 3rd of December.

This was when Helen who I had been talking to previously handed me over to Ed who was the general manager of the club who could let me know all of the information about the club. After emails back and forth with Ed, he let me know that Watford Ladies train on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and then the game itself on the 3rd of December. This means four trips up to the club over the week which was not too bad for me. I started to get together the script for the piece and I sent it over to Ed who told me to change one thing. I had one question asking the players what attracted them to Watford as a football club, Ed suggested that this may not be a great question for the current difficulties that the club is experiencing. After I had adapted the script and sent it to Ed he was happy with it and I proceeded to work on travel plans and also on storyboards. 

I also was trying to make sure that I had as much information on the club as well as how I would get tickets for the game, where the training ground was, as well as which players I could potentially be interviewing so that I could do a little bit of research! After emailing Ed, he said that the training ground was Harefield Academy (UB9 6ET) from 8pm-10pm each day. Ed said he would also supply the tickets for the game, all I needed to do was email him the names of who was coming. I am going to leave a couple of days to organise who will be helping me before I submit the names. We will also be going to the hospice on Thursday 30th at 1:30pm in South Bucks hospice in High Wycombe. Player and manager interviews will take place on the day and Ed will assist us with that, and on the day we will be able to see who is free to talk. Ed has been a great help in arranging all of this and I am really excited to get it started!

I have created a schedule that I want to work with to be able to make it to Watford in good time and giving us ample time to set up.
Wednesday. Leave home around 3pm, collect whoever may be helping me with the project and then head to Kings Langley. I hope to be in the area by 5pm but usual M25 traffic will probably mean it is closer to 6pm. Then there will be time for a quick dinner and I want to arrive at the training ground for 7:30 pm to set up and talk to Ed.

1. Thursday. We will be visiting the hospice at 1:30pm so we will have to leave earlier, probably around 11am to make it there in good time. After the hospice I may use the opportunity to get some drone shots of the area as the club said they have used them before and I think it would look good. We then may have some time to kill as training does not start until 8pm, so we may find something to do for the hours in between.
2. Sunday. The game starts at 2pm, I hope to be at the ground for 12:30 so I can get some of the build up to the game and capturing some of the atmosphere. I will get the 10:29 train to get me there for 12:30.

Researching into Watford Ladies - The Club & Players

Before I started filming I wanted to do my research on the football club so I knew what I was talking about when filming this project. "Research is collecting information about the topic of your doc and about people who might end up in it as participants. Once you've mined internet and print sources and you've pre-interviewed people, you will have a better understanding of how to shape and focus your initial idea for the documentary - what to include and what to leave out. Focusing the documentary (what's the story?) will inform your strategy for each interview and its purpose in your doc. Research gives you more than facts and background information. Research will identify the two most important things a documentary needs: characters to populate it and actual situations they will allow you to film." (Video Maker, 2009) This information would also be great for when I conduct the interviews because I will be able to talk with confidence about the club.

Watford Ladies were founded in 1970 and are currently based in Herefordshire at Kings Langley FC’s ground. They have won the Women’s challenge cup five times as well as being the Southern division champion in the 2006-07 season. With Watford currently in the second division of women’s football, they still adhere to many of the professionalisms of the first division. However, most of the players have to have a main job, with football on the side, whereas many of the first division clubs are full time. (Watford WSL, 2017)

Figure 1. Watford Ladies Striker Helen Ward

As of writing this report Watford Ladies had gone into difficulties with the club recently announcing that they would be competing in the third division next season.(Independant, 2017) (Women’s football does not work like the men's game, you have to pay to be in a division meaning Watford decided it would be better to drop a division to try and re-grow the club)

From the discussions over email, it looked like Helen Ward (pictured above) would be a likely interviewee, so I decided to check some facts about her playing career than I could link into the script. "When you're making a documentary or any fact-based video, you should be heavily researched and know the informational role you want each of your interview subjects to play. In other words, know what you want each of your participants to talk about before you sit them down in front of the camera. This means you really have to know what your documentary is about." (Video Maker, 2009)  Here are the facts that I researched:

• 31 years old
• Wales International
• Played for Watford previously
• 39 Goals in 70 appearances for Wales
• Recently Started football training weeks after having her second child 

All of these facts will be important in dropping in the interview when writing the script, or the second script if plans change.

I also did some research on the training facilities which is where the majority of the documentary will be shot. The training ground is called "Harefield Academy" and is based in north London, just on the boundary with Hertfordshire. The ladies training ground is not linked with the men's team and neither is the stadium. I would not be visiting the stadium so I did not need to do much research on that.

I was told by Ed, the clubs general manager that Watford Ladies train on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday each week. I was not told which days would be training days outside but I assumed there would be a mixture of inside and outside workouts.

As women's football is not as big in the UK as men's it was tough to find out much more about the club. However, I feel like I have done good research into the club before meeting them and starting the filming. I would have been worried going into filming without any sort of knowledge about the club.

Watford Ladies Commission - Before Shooting Worries / Changes & Risk Assessment

I have been worried that as I have not posted a blog post every day that it may be seen that I have not been doing anything, but that isn't the case. Over the last few weeks, it has been tough to keep motivated for my project. Because many problems have been encountered as well as my eventual shooting dates ending up being very late. This means I will have a small amount of time to edit the project as well as completing the report and my critical perspectives at the same time.

I would not have chosen for the project to go this way, but it is and I am dealing with it in the best way possible. I have also received another big set back as late as the day before I was supposed to start filming. Ed, who has been great throughout and is the general manager of the club, told me today he would not be attending training on Tuesday meaning we would not be able to film. While this does save me a 250-mile round trip, it does make me worry even more. I had a 4-day shoot schedule which is now being shrunk to 3 days. Of course, it is frustrating after all the setbacks I have had to have another the day before shooting but I will do my best to cope with it.

It should hopefully not affect the quality of the work but it makes me worry more, which cannot be helped when shooting for such a big client and needing to deliver. I have got a good plan which will mean (excluding even more setbacks) I was worried everything would continue to go wrong, but i just needed some motivation to keep going. "Setbacks happen to everyone. You are not a failure or a loser for being thrown off your course. It’s important to take care of yourself through a setback, and let others know you are hurting so they are able to aid your healing. Be gentle with yourself and build in ample, restful sleep, a well-balanced diet, and lots of exercise to get your adrenaline and natural endorphins pumping. Invest in your body, and give it what it needs to feel good, be happy, and be energized to get back on track." (Huffington Post, 2016) I should be able to still film everything I want in the shortened shoot week. I still cannot thank the club enough for the opportunity, it is fantastic to work on a project I am so passionate about and at the same time, it is for such a big client.

I have also been working on my report while I have had free time to do so. I actually really enjoy writing about it because it has been an interesting experience and definitely the hardest to cope with mentally with so much going on and at the same time having to wait to start shooting. I have completed pretty much all I can do before I have actually filmed anything. I feel that this will hopefully put me in a good position when I need to finish the rest as I should have less to do and worry about.

However, I am still worried about the lack of time to do everything. With the critical perspectives as well in my mind it has been hard to focus. I am waiting for books from the library before I can really improve my essay, and Helen said I should do more reading before I start writing more on it otherwise it will lack structure. The last few weeks have been tough for me and I know it probably sounds pathetic but it has been the hardest part of university so far. However, I understand university is here to challenge us and I am up for that challenge. "It all starts with you. By competing, you are able to discover more about yourself and what you are good at, improve your knowledge and skills in familiar topics and learn more about things that you are not as good at. You will also be able to grow as a person when you engage in introspective thinking, be more spontaneous, humble, honest, spiritual, etc." (Student Competitions, 2017) I will undoubtably come across many challenges throughout my career and by trying new things now and working on problems I have not encountered yet, it will only help me in the long term!

Lastly, I have been writing up the risk assessment for my project. I was unsure at first if I needed to do one as I would not be using any of the universities kit, but after clarification from Helen, it sounds like it was best to for everyone's safety. "Risk assessment is simply a structured way of thinking about how you might cause harm to people for an activity or situation that is going to happen at some point in the future. It is a planning tool to help you minimise the risk of accidents, of ill health, threats to personal security, damage to property or the environment. The earlier, more thoroughly you do it and the better you communicate its’ findings, the more effective it is likely to be." (BBC, 2017)
Here is my risk assessment that I will hand in on Tuesday. I am sure there will be small alterations to it to make sure it is perfect but this is the complete version so far.

Watford Ladies Commission: Storyboards

While I am not the greatest drawer, creating some storyboards would be important to follow when filming and this process will also help when I come to editing. "Storyboarding refers to the creation of a sequence of drawings that illustrates the levels of the game or its different scenes and goals. Each image includes a paragraph or two describing what is going on in the scene." (iadt, 2013) As a lot of my documentary is filming things of which I do not know what will be happening (eg. A football game) I gave myself of ideas of what to film in those instances as well as writing relevant text.

I was worried that my bad drawing would hold back my storyboards however many people say that they are just a way of reminding yourself about what you want to film, as well as following the conventions of documentary. "Do not be intimidated by storyboarding. The frames should be rough sketches. The artwork can be simple and even messy. Remember: you are only brainstorming your main ideas." (iadt, 2013) These storyboards may not look amazing but they are going to be an important visual clue to keep to the codes and conventions I have researched about documentaries.

Watford Ladies Commission: Timetable & More planning

After some more emails with Watford's general manager Ed, he said that the club would also supply the tickets for the game, all I needed to do was email him the names of who was coming. I am going to leave a couple of days to organise who will be helping me before I submit the names. Ideally, I would have help from at least one extra person on each of the shoot days, but as it a very busy time at university it is understandable if I can not find someone who is free.

As mentioned earlier. we will also be going to the hospice on Thursday 30th and Ed confirmed a time and a place for the meet. It would be at 1:30pm in South Bucks hospice in High Wycombe. This would be great to see the community side of football and the ways that the club helps out the local area!

I have been talking to Ed about Player and manager interviews and they will take place on the day and Ed will assist us with that, and on the day we will be able to see who is free to talk. Ed has been very helpful, and I really appreciate the club being so open to my ideas!

I have created a schedule that I want to work with to be able to make it to Watford in good time and giving us ample time to set up.

• Tuesday & Wednesday. Leave home around 3pm, collect whoever may be helping me with the project and then head to Kings Langley. I hope to be in the area by 5pm but usual M25 traffic will probably mean it is closer to 6pm. Then there will be time for a quick dinner and I want to arrive at the training ground for 7:30pm to set up and talk to Ed.
• Thursday. We will be visiting the hospice at 1:30pm so we will have to leave earlier, probably around 11am to make it there in good time. After the hospice, I may use the opportunity to get some drone shots of the area as the club said they have used them before and I think it would look good. We then may have some time to kill as training does not start until 8pm so we may find something to do for the hours in between.

• Sunday. The game starts at 2pm, I hope to be at the ground for 12:30 so I can get some of the build up to the game and capturing some of the atmosphere. I will get the 10:29 train to get me there for 12:30.

This then gives me two weeks to edit and finish my report as well as doing my critical perspectives at the same time. It will be a busy time but I am looking forward to the challenge and also seeing how this vision comes to fruition!

I had also talked to Ed about using my drone at the training as I thought it would create a really interesting perspective. Ed liked the idea and said that they had used one in training before so it would not be a problem to use it again. I want to use my drone more because with university all the ideas we have had have not led to me using that often and I think it is very unique in the way it records films.

I am just adapting the script as well as working on the storyboards as well as writing the start of my report. I will also not be using any of the universities equipment so I will not need to fill out a risk assessment. I will of course, however, adhere to all the practices as if I had signed one. Luckily I have my own kit which I am pretty confident with and it also saves lugging around a big camera because a lot of the shots will be on foot and maybe at awkward angles.

I have also created a kit list for each day (I'll probably end up putting more on it when I remember it)

Watford Ladies Week Behind The Scenes: Draft Script

"The very nature of the documentary is that it is “unscripted”. It is meant to capture some aspect of “real life”. Then it is up to the you (the writer) to take the messiness of real life and create some kind of story - As the scriptwriter, you will need to examine all the “unscripted” & “raw” footage and create some sort of structure out of it" (Desktop Documentaries, 2013) This was very true of my documentary. It felt like a lot of what I have written is in the "to be confirmed" stage as I am not exactly sure what is going to be said in the interviews. I have, however, wrote something that could be said, as a generic answer so I know a decent way to segway between the various questions.

Here is my first script version of this commission. It will probably have to be adapted as the documentary goes on and I start to film it.
