Shooting Day 1

On Saturday the 23rd of February, Tango Man was making his way to watch the Sheffield Wednesday Match against Crystal Palace. We decided that this would be a perfect day to film him.
This is a list of what happened on the day;
  • We arrived at Sheffield Wednesday and filmed Tango Man walking to the stadium then having him turn around to reveal the stadium behind him. 
  • Tango Man then went to his local pub to meet family and friends so we checked all the equipment over and planned the rest of the day. 
  • Jacob filmed a lot of exterior shots then we set off to the local pub to meet Tango again. 
  • At the club the owner allowed us to interview Tango in a function room away from the rowdiness of the bar.
  • We asked Tango a series of questions. Once this was over we decided to go to the stadium and decide on what was happening next.
  • Paul set off up a hill to get an arial shot of the ground and the surrounding area (he also wanted to capture the crowds making their way to the stadium and exiting once the game had finished).
  • Myself, Hannah and Jacob went in to the stadium to film footage on Flip Cams of Tango at action.
  • We filmed Tango from our seats and once the match was over we met up again to discuss what we captured, with this we decided to call it a day.
Pro's and Cons of the day
I would say that even though this was our first day meeting Tango and going to a match to film, we did remarkably well, everything went to plan and we followed the schedule religiously. We captured what we wanted to capture and re-shot anything we thought wasn't suitable. However, the weather was extremely cold and this was off putting, at time we were so cold we couldn't operate some of the equipment and this was frustrating. Also, the flip cams were very poor and the footage we got wasn't brilliant, again it was that cold that the match wasn't particularly enjoyable and we left after 78minutes because we started to get ill. We agreed as a solution that because we had left ourselves plenty of time to re-capture anything we didn't get or thought wasn't suitable, we could go out and do it again.
