Filming The Junction Fiver

I went down to the Junction with Nick, Kirk, James, Sam and Dave with the filming equipment in tow. We arrived while the bands were performing their soundcheck. I was in charge of interviewing Simon Bates and filming the class members as they were going around filming the night.
I went off with James, who interviewed Simon while I filmed it. Kirk took photos. The interview dragged on for quite a while and by the time it was over, I already had 15 minutes worth of footage. The night hadn't even begun and already I had quite a lot of footage.

I then went with Kirk and together, we got interviews with the sound and light technicians. I filmed a few cut aways and also brief footage of soundcheck. I thought it was interesting as we learned what goes into making the evening so good. We also got to witness a few of the bands as they did their sound checks, which was an added bonus.

I filmed a few cutaways that could appear in the documentary, this was on the list of footage that was given to me by the rest of the group. I interviewed FranKo's manager, along with Kirk and the whole group filmed the interview with FranKo. After that, I went around filming the others as they were filming the performances. I also interviewed a member of the Junction staff, who had been working there since it first opened. I thought this could be interesting for the documentary. I also filmed some crowd footage, then went home.

All in all, I got forty five minutes of footage, which is quite a lot. Nice.
