Research into the BBC production

I had the opportunity to look at some of the equipment and production techniques of the BBC because they are filming at the school I attend. I asked questions about the camera which was a Sony FS7 Mark 1, including how to operate and utilize it. I also held it so that I got used to holding a camera in preparation for my filming. I also looked at how they used the microphone to record audio for the documentary. He explained about the physical elements of the microphone and how he uses it to record audio. I held the microphone and operated it using the gadget. I had a chance to ask questions about how they went about filming the documentary, including different camera angle, different types of shots etc. Although they film documentaries and not music videos, it was extremely useful to hear about how they film and the techniques they use. It was an honor to speak to professional producers in the industry and I will definitely try and apply their knowledge to my music video to make it look as creative and professional as possible. I think taking this opportunity has really benefited my filming and has made me a much better producer.
