Group Project - Film Day 2 - Flowerdown House

For the second big day of filming, the location was Flowerdown house, Weston – super – Mare. Today was a better today, in that we had no equipment problems, or lack of tapes, and we had our third member; Dan. So we hoped today would be a much easier day, while still gaining good material for the project. This was also shot in the Easter holidays.



We went through the same routine as we did at the Somerset legion house, by setting up the interview locations, testing equipment and making sure the contributors knew exactly what was going on. To our delight there were even more people interested in taking part than there was at the Legion house.



With Dan being the extra member today, we each had to cope with one role each, which made the whole process a lot easier. For today my role was being the camera operator, Dan was the soundman on the boom, and Monish became the interviewer this time round.



We had some very interesting interviews, ones that we will definitely use in the finished product. Through these locations we were happy to gain a wide variety of backgrounds from the people we interviewed, and this again will be a good addition to our documentary.



Through both locations we filmed, we gained the cut-away shots we had planned on obtaining. Flowerdown house however, had a lot more useful cut-away shots within the building, boasting a horde of paintings, photos, medals and engraved plates that we will hopefully make good use of. The staff were very pleasant and we each received a cake and a cup of tea.
