TV news: Filming at the Electric Palace cinema

We arrived at the Electric Palace and started getting our cutaways and GV's, because we only had an hour to film, because the cinema didn't open until an hour before the film started. We managed to get some good shots in the cinema itself, such as going up the stairs and Ashley Snoding, our presenter, coming through the door into the screen. 

 After we got all our cutaways and GV's we started setting up for the interviews with Cath Tajima Powell, the cinema supervisor of the Electric Palace, and one of the 30-40 volunteers there. These interviews went very well, with each of the interviewees going into enough detail to make the content they were talking about interesting, but didn't talk too long that it became boring.

It is always good for an editor to have a good workflow, as this will save so much time and effort in the long run, when carrying out this workflow becomes the standard way that you carry out an edit. Doing this will also cause you less stress inn your production, which can also help your editing, as when you are stressed about it, there may be some things that you miss during the edit. All of this being carried out is what will create a better post-production experience.
