On the 2nd March, there was a festival being held in Sheffield where Morris dancers from around the country came together to dance. This was one of the main shoots within our production, as a lot of the footage we captured on this day were going to definitely be used within both the 2 minute poetic and 10 minute piece.
Lucky for us, the weather was sunny and clear all day, which was perfect for us to shoot in, there were issues for example the sun sheen on the camera lens on some shots as well as hiding behind clouds causing unwanted lighting changes in shots.
Once again, we went for the two camera set up, and also had help from Neil and Emma to help us out with the sound equipment, as Alice, being a Morris dancer herself, wasn't available some of the time.
Throughout the day however, Alice made sure we knew where to be and when, to record which dancers and what type of shots to capture. The interviews were mainly done through the 600D (manned by myself) and were captured in a range of shot styles, to allow a range for the audience to enjoy. The vast range of shots throughout the day would allow Lewis to work with a range within the edit to make the piece interesting throughout.
I feel this part of the shoot went very well. We captured a lot of footage and I think it will look great in the edit! Obviously we ran into problems such as people walking in front of the camera but luckily it wasn't too often that it was a massive problem for us.
After the town centre section of this shoot. We travelled to the University of Sheffield's Arms pub, which was absolutely packed with Morris dancers and beers. Luckily they went up their in costume to socialise straight away. During our time, we were able to capture a few more interviews that were more personal to the dancers themselves, more socialised location and therefore more comfortable for the audience to enjoy.
The interviews ranged, as we got emotional ones and humorous ones.
Here are some of the (screen) shots we captured on the day:
