Dairy of Filming - Llanelli
Filming day one
Our group drove to Llanelli in Chris’s car to meet Eleanor (our contributor) who Jessie found. We did underestimated the length of time to get there but fortunately we had also given ourselves an extra hour contingency for travelling; so luckily we arrived like the cavalry, exactly on time; giving the impression that we were a professional outfit.
Eleanor was very friendly and was only too pleased that we had arrived to interview her. She very kindly let us have a look at the rooms available for filming her, and having looked around we settled for the living room as this had a massive and beautiful bay window which provided loads of natural light.
Chris and I then set up the camera, tripod and sound equipment while Jessie talked to Eleanor. Eleanor was brilliant on camera as she was very relaxed in front of the camera and full of energy and enthusiasm, as well as speaking with confidence.
While we were interviewing Eleanor her son woke up, which distracted us a little, but by that time we had luckily got the vast majority of the interview that we wanted; all that remained was to film was the cut away shots; the first cut away shot was of the classic Noddies, then we did cut aways of Eleanor and her son watching TV and with them playing in the backroom. Our final cut aways were of them playing in the playroom, which was a greater challenge to film as we had a confined and limited space to work in and for placing the camera, but in the end it worked well and we were able to use one of the cut aways in the final production.
After this we packed up and said our goodbyes and thank you’s to Eleanor till the next day.
