The Grand Location Shoot Mark Gardener.

In this multi camera session we were at a different location. We were in the Grand in clitheroe. The venue as to where big events and gigs are held throughout the year. Lucky enough we had been asked to produce a shoot on location at the grand. I felt quite excited for this one as I have only been to the grand once and they are very professional at what they do, light mixing, sound mixing with a very big dinning and venue, it was industry experience. With the multi camera session announced we didn't know who we were going to be filming Mark Gardener who is a musician, formally known for his work with creation records label band Ride, not apposes to work solo. This was a great opportunity to claw some real detail about his career up to press as he has been in the music industry for a good 20+ years. This was also an exclusive acoustic session that college had prepped for us.
The shooting went very well, we were only handed two cameras to be able to use, initially I thought this wouldn't be that hard to film as there was only Mark Gardener who we would be recording. On the other hand it would be quite hard to contain a lot of footage with just two cameras and also to get interesting shots that will keep your audience appealed and glued to watching it. We also had a camera that Declan bought in to take photos for evidence. Me and Declan both were taking photos of Mark Gardener. We aimed to get some interesting shots from all angles, such as low down, side on even from behind him on the stage. After Mark had performed his acoustic set then we were to set up and conduct an interview. Baring in mind that we had the questions intact we had to remember that we were focussing on Mark's work and solo work, we were not to bring up all of the stuff he performed with Ride under the creation records.
There was also another band session afterwards but due to work commitments I was unable to be part of the crew who were going to be filming the event,
