Directions unit: Assistant on shoot

On the first shoot of the people in my group, I was needed to be the sound operator. The day went really well, until the end, when the camera ran out of battery when we still had some footage to shoot. Because of this, we had to resume filming the next day, which also went smoothly. The two actors, Darren and Joanna, were very complicit and acted their lines very well, except when Darren had a few stumbles for part of one of the later scenes. The members of staff in the art gallery were also very helpful.

Documentary unit: Jackie interview

So we could get an outside view on fake fear, we were able to secure an interview with an actual adrenaline junkie, only thing was, she's 73! She was amazing to interview, and her answers were so descriptive, which gave us some area to play around with during the edit. We needed to rearrange the house to better suit an interview, and when we realised that we would have to do that, we were glad that we were filming in one of our own homes instead of Jackie's house, or in a public area, as we then had control over the whole environment. Jackie was a pleasure to interview, as she was very relaxed and had a great sense of humour to match.
