After shooting the reconstruction of the vampire attack in the city centre we were able to shoot the newsroom/tv studio part of the CrimeWatch video. I got my acting friend Marcus to help us out again and be our presenter as he’s already helped us out with another news report we did for the film.
Me, Harrison, Bethan and Chloe walked over to the studio with the required equipment then began setting up whilst Marcus brushed up on his lines. We had to work fast and efficiently because we only had an hour to film and pack up. I took control of setting up the lights and TV so that it had the CrimeWatch presentation playing whilst Marcus was talking.
As the sound boom of the camera hardly picked up Marcus’ voice because of his distance from the camera I had to be sat by him holding up a tas-cam so the sound could be put in the edit non-diagetically. Although this was tricky because I had to make sure the levels were alright whilst staying out of frame with aching arms, this method got the job done.
