Filming

When our group filmed we filmed in different locations, to get lots of our cutaways we went to BM, Wilkinson, Card Factory and a local card shop. 


We filmed 8 different interviews to use in our documentary. We filmed an interview with the manager of B&M. We interviewed him about how the shops profits increase and to what extent they increase. We also interviewed some residents from a local care home about how Christmas has changed over the years they have been alive. We also interviewed a vicar and some people who have a different religion and don't celebrate Christmas. Another interview we filmed was an interview with someone who celebrates Christmas but does not believe in god. We also interviewed people who worked in card shops and asked them questions about when stock arrives and the profits that are made over Christmas.  






When we first went to film some of our cutaways in B&M the tripod did not work properly and we therefore had to film alot of our shots without a tripod and therefore the shots did not look right and we had to re do all the cutaway's from there. We would have also liked to film panning shots moving the tripod however this was no possiable and we therefore had to film panning shots just moving the camera on the tripod. 


When we interviewed a worker in Card Factory we did not get very good answer's to the questions we asked and could therefore not use any of the interview, however we were able to use a short part of it in the beginning before the opening credits. 


When Liander and I went to re film cutaways we went into Wilkinson's and asked if it would be ok to film in their shop and they said we could and therefore we have more variety in the shops we filmed in.


This is a picture of the group filming some vox pops however we did not use this vox pop in the final edit
