'As Live' Studio Production: Promotions shoot Day 1

The actual promotions shoot took place today, with the presenters for the show being the focus of the film. We again used Empire, the shop mentioned in a previous blog post. We also had the mannequin for this shoot, as it was the core piece of the idea. We had the mannequin dressed in the clothes that the female presenter, called Adeline, was going to be wearing for the show, as the idea was that she was going to steal it from the shop to wear on the show. 

The manager of the shot was really nice and helpful in allowing us to film in the shop, which made filming there a lot easier as we could talk to him really easily. 

As mentioned before, we did not need to spend any money to be able to film in the shop. We had an agreement that if we were allowed to film in the shop, then we would provide some free advertising, as the promo was going to be going on social media, which the shop owner, the manager's brother, agreed to. 

The filming went very well, and we were done within an hour and a half, which was due to the Director knowing exactly what he needed to shoot. It was also down to the actors being very cooperative during the shoot. 

However, it was later found that the footage was of a poor quality for some reason, which was strange as it looked perfect on the camera's display.

I feel like I managed to overcome the challenges that arose in a good manner, and also made some decisions that led to some very good results. The first thing that I could have done better is doing more thorough research, and trying harder to contact people from the club outside of club hours. If I had done this sooner, then I would have a better portfolio of more people who attend the club. I did manage to interview quite a few people at the club, both volunteer and customer, so I feel like I still had quite a good range of opinions, however it would have been good to broaden the types of questions that I asked them, such as what they did before coming to the club, or how they heard about the club. 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
