COMMISSIONS UNIT: (Production) Shoot Day 4

The fourth day of our shoot was 4th May. The majority of this day was used to film Alex's interview with Aidan - a learner driver. This shoot required just having Alex and Aidan in his car for the interview. Alex rigged up his car with the GoPros and also attached the clip mics to himself and Aidan. The equipment was fully set up before Alex set off so that his concentration could be fully on the road.

Between us in our group we had 3 GoPros - however, we only ended up using 2 of them. These enabled for different angled shots during the interview with Aidan.

Alex did encounter an issue with the sound during the first take of this interview. Since both himself and Aidan had time, they decided to re film the interview.

Once the interview with Aidan was complete, myself and Sonia met up with Alex in order to film some more GVs and sequences.

Sonia directed the shoot / acted as a runner before she had to leave and I was the camera operator. In order to capture the GVs and sequences we used a DSLR and a tripod. The footage we needed to capture was mainly of Alex driving about in his car. We also filmed some footage of Alex with his pass certificate and also of him with the keys to his car to be used in the opening sequence. Commentary will later be added to this footage.

We also decided to capture some footage of Alex driving behind my car - in order to do this I attached a GoPro to my back window and drove with Alex following me. We are still undecided about this footage but it is still handy to have available if we want it.
