Documentary Unit: Kent Pride Shoot

The last bit of filming Mary and I had left to do was an interview with Vicki, the organiser of Kent Pride. So we travelled to Canterbury where she allowed us to film her in her office. I found that she was very easy to interview, every question we asked her was followed but very detailed answers. Such as asking her about what Kent Pride does for homosexual teenagers, and her saying very inspiring words about her life when she was a teenager and how she wants teenagers today to have more help.

While the interview was great, we did struggle to get a lot of coverage, due to her office being very small and limited on space, and our battery being faulty. This meant that we had to have the battery on charge while filming, and couldn't move very far. However, her office being small worked to our advantage when it came to our battery issue, as we were able to film almost everything from one position. We picked out useful and interesting sequence shots from her office including Kent Pride posters and Vicki's fundraising chart, as well an actuality shot of Vicki writing a Kent Pride blog post on her computer.

I think that the Kent Pride section of our documentary will be really helpful and informative for the audience. I think that with the limitations that we had, we did a very good job of covering her interview and the cutaway shots.
