COMMISSIONS UNIT: (Production) Shoot Day 3

The third day of our shoot was on the 3rd May. This again took place at Alex's house.

The crew for this shoot consisted of myself and Alex (although Alex had to be on screen for the majority of the shoot). Alex was also able to capture some footage by himself.

The equipment we used for this shoot was the Sony EX camera, a clip mic and the directional mic. We decided to use both types of microphone to have both options when it came to post production (incase there was an issue with the audio from one of the microphones).





This shoot consisted of filming more sequences that would be placed throughout the documentary in order to introduce the segments. For example: we filmed the sequence with Alex looking at his laptop and discussing the cost of learning to drive etc. - this would then lead into Alex interviewing Aidan (a learner driver).


Later on in the day I also had the job of interviewing the insurance broker. I got to the location (Eastgate Events Venue) and set up the equipment. The equipment used on this shoot was a DSLR, a clip mic and two soft box lights.


I was the only crew member on this shoot so I acted as the camera operator as well as interviewer. This worked fine as I didn't need to be on screen as the interviewer, allowing me to stay behind the camera.


The shoot went very smoothly - it took around an hour in total. I managed to capture around 15 minutes of good, usable footage about the insurance prices for young drivers, why the premiums are what they are and what we can expect to happen in the future. This can then be chopped around in post production.
