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.

I feel like this would have been better to do as then the audience could build up more of a relationship to the characters, and
