Back to the Gym, Work that Chest

Brief number 3: each group is to produce 1 x 1” sequence of actuality.

Mel wanted us to use one of our interviews from the previous week for a sequence of actuality. We decided that the only feasible option was to go back to the gym and film the manager doing a work out. We got him to demonstrate using machines that worked the chest area while explaining what he was doing. I was sound for this piece and I think it worked quite well but I found it quite hard to get his voice over the noise of the gym even though we got them to turn the music off. The final edit looked good but it was pointed out to us that majority of it is shot with the window behind the manager and this makes him look really dark. Next shoot we need to look out for light sources behind our contributors. 

Also during the feedback sessions we learnt that we had yet again misunderstood the brief! This was more of an instructional video that it was a documentation of actuality! Maybe next time we will get it right…
