'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.

We felt that this idea was a strong one, as it is usually people who are older that decide to go through a tech detox, so ours seemed unique as we were going to have a teenager as the main focus of the documentary. When we were researching the science behind the affects of technology in our daily lives, we were finding lots of useful information, along with some possible case studies and locations to shoot. However, some complications arose, with colliding ideas and people not getting back to us for possible interviews, so we decided to end this idea and change it into just the general effects of technology in life, and the advantages and disadvantages of it. again, we felt like this was a strong idea due to it being from the perspective of a teenager, as they are the right ag...
