I went to London with the VT team to get the BTS of their Graffiti shoot. Got lots of footage of VT Director Tim directing and the actual filming. Along with shots of some graffiti just incase and an on-set interview with Tim.
I filmed the first workshop we had with Hans. Unfortunately the Canon wasn't able to pick up much light and so the shots are grainy and unusable.
Charlie filmed BTS for the Domestic Violence VT including shots of VT Director Danny talking about the layouts, setting up of the stunt, the sound team recording it and an on-set interview with VT Producer Sophie.
I filmed their rehearsals for the stunt a few days prior: focussing mainly on them figuring out where to put the cameras and setting up the stunt location along with VT Camera Andrei linking the GoPro's to a mac to monitor them.
Charlie filmed the second Hans workshop: this time getting some better footage than I managed: these included shots inside the Gallery of Studio Directors Chris and Andy directing; PA Hannah time-keeping and the Studio Camera team filming.
The new version of the graffiti VT wasn't filmed as our Promotions Producer decided there was no point going to London again. Instead we filmed the next two Hans workshops that were set up in Studio 5. I took one day and Charlie took the other. I focussed on the Studio Camera team setting up and getting a layout along with filming some of the rehearsals and Floor Manager Kate instructing the team. I also managed to get footage of in-between rehearsals when everyone would blow off some steam and chat and mess about. I felt it was important to get some of this to show the lightheartedness the show can reach and almost portray the production crew as a 'family': having a laugh but getting the job done.
Charlie focussed on the sound team as I didn't cover this and there was no point filming more of the same in terms of the rehearsals. He got some interviews with Mike and Mark and also some laid-back moments.
For the set build we both had a Canon 7D each and walked around filming what we could. On top of this we set up a GoPro with help from Alex Rudge on one of the lighting rigs in the far corner to record the set build. Sam M. helped us out with the sound for most of the day switching between Charlie and me. He stuck predominantly with Charlie as I had Mike's zoom attached to the rig I was using to record sound.
For the actual recording day Charlie, me and our Promotions Producer, Aimee, came to an agreement on who would be filming where when the show went live. I was assigned the Gallery and Charlie and Sam M. were designated on the floor. Sam was with Charlie as I still had Mike's zoom as part of my rig and as the Gallery is smaller I wouldn't need a sound man whereas Charlie would benefit from a directional mic assisting in his filming. On top of this we had the GoPro film the audience coming in for another potential time-lapse and also when the set was being packed away.
I recorded the entire show from inside the gallery: focussing on shots of Andy, Chris and Helen. I also got shots of Hannah counting down to VT's; Sophie readying the VT's and the Vision Mixers cutting shots.
After the easter break we got ready for the interviews that were saved until after the recording: the people we had in mind to interview were Helen, Andy, Chris, Sophie, Danny and Tim. Below are the list of questions for each interviewee.
Due to time running out we only filmed Helen, Sophie and Andy's interviews. Hopefully it will be enough for the videos.
