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.
