COMMISSIONS UNIT: (Production) GVs

As well as shooting some GVs on our shoot days, myself, Sonia, Alex and Jason also filmed GVs with our own equipment whenever we had the opportunity to give us the maximum amount of footage.

Myself, Sonia and Alex all own our own GoPros so we each set these up to record in our cars on different journeys we made, allowing us to capture a lot of footage on the road. This also gave us a lot of variety of footage due to the different locations in which we all live. Sonia and Alex mainly captured town and busy roads whereas I was able to capture some country roads. Here's the GoPro footage I captured:





Jason filmed GVs from Alex's car, the camera was attached to the tripod which was secured to the car seat whilst he operated the camera. Jason also filmed clips of the outside of Alex's car. These GVs will be distributed throughout the documentary.

Whilst doing the location recce at Eastgate Events Venue for the interview with the insurance broker, I noticed a good shot of the A2. I set up my camera and tripod and filmed the A2 for around half an hour. This meant we could use this footage either as it was or sped up to act as a time lapse.



Other GVs were captured on the shoot days when we were shooting on location (e.g clips of the inside of Alex's car, gear changes, steering wheel etc.) Many of the GVs were filmed on the fourth shoot day.

Once we begun the edit we realized that there were more shots we needed. Myself and Alex made it our job to capture these shots. We captured the extra footage of Alex's car which we needed (the indicator flashing, the brake lights, more GoPro footage and the establishing shots of Alex's house and Eastgate Events Venue).
