Filming Production Diary 1

Today I began filming my documentary. I met up with Billie-Jo in her home and debriefed her what I needed for the first filming session. For this session I started by filming most of the shots filler shots that will be edited over the audio of part of the interview, such as:

  • An establishing shot/movement of the bedroom covered in band posters
  • A shot of a collection of CDs
  • An outdoor establishing shot of the house
  • Shots of Billie-Jo applying makeup
  • A shot of Billie-Jo looking through her concert ticket folder
I started with simple shots that don't need Billie-Jo to talk so that she becomes more comfortable being around a camera and being filmed. 

I filmed in both black and white, along with colour to provide variety.

Overall, the filming went fairly well with only a few minor issues - such as the weather outside being dull in the outdoor establishing shot. Because of this, I will re-film the establishing shot.

Editing Diary 1

Today I started editing the concert footage that I took on 11/11/2014. As the audio on the concert footage wasn't very good,  I decided to combine it with the actual song from the album. I shortened the footage/song down so that it wouldn't be too long. 

Here is my edited concert footage:
