Production Notes
Shoot was in London, which meant travel and accommodation had to be arranged. Got train from Glasgow Central to London Euston.
Screw was missing from part of rig that secures camera to the rig, meaning rig was unusable. Always check kit before shoot.
Slider was not particularly great, did not attach to tripod.
Filmed gig in pub. Was packed, making movement very difficult. Also showed up dark on camera. Being documentary, could not use lights, so anticipate this, or hire lens better suited. Sound was also difficult in pub. Find a central position to capture all sound (we recorded in stereo) as opposed to isolated area, and get mic high pointing down to eliminate noise from public.
Recorded sound onto tracks C and D in mixer, however only sound from tracks A and B was DITed onto computer. Sound still existed in mixer's internal memory.
