On the Friday, I had a meeting with those who will be
filming the weekends two shoots. In this meeting we discussed interview
questions, content we wanted to film, and filming schedules.
Offline editing occasionally posed several problems for us.
There were a couple of incidences where we would lose all our sub clips and
would have to do it all again. Although it is a hassle we could do without, I’m
hoping that it will not affect our schedule too much. We also started to write
a voice over for the autumn insert as the footage has already been put together
in an initial rough cut.
The filming of the Night of the Dead insert proved a lot
more difficult than first anticipated. Firstly, it was a very cold night, so
using equipment was made more difficult. Secondly, there was not much choice in
terms of interview locations. Most areas were noisy from either guests of the
event, or loud copyright music, and the indoor areas didn’t provide a brilliant
backdrop and we would often be in the way of guests. We also couldn’t use the
lights we brought because there was not the room for them and we didn’t have
the time to set them up properly. We also had to be very careful with footage
we captured because of general broadcast rules as well as the BBC’s own
guidelines. We didn’t want to film too many shots of alcohol, fake blood and
horror face paint, however this proved exceptionally difficult as the mayor,
along with others, already had face paint on before we interviewed them. This
Earlier in the week I sent an email to the Hindu society at
the university because we wanted to bring one of the members in to speak about
the Hindu festival of Diwali. I still have had no reply from them so this idea
may have to be changed.
