On the agenda today was:
- Film everybody setting up
- Introduction to "It's a Free World" by Ken Loach, with a talk from Nick Kinsella
- Question & Answer session with director Ken Loach
We decided to set up one of the cameras at the top of a staircase near the entrance of where the film was going to be shown. It had a great shot of all of the exhibitors and campaigners setting up their stands and gave a great overview of the foyer. I then took the second camera and went around on foot getting footage of everyone setting up. We managed to get some impromptu interviews with another organiser, a spokesperson for Greenpeace and also the head of the UK human trafficking centre, Nick Kinsella. These all went very well and all were given release forms to sign which they were happy to.
Unfortunately a scheduled interview with Ken Loach did not go ahead as planned. However, we did manage to grab him for a quick interview before his question and answer session. We were very pleased he was happy to help us out and he even suggested that he would like to give a lecture at our university at some point.
It was then time for him to give his question and answer session, which we filmed a portion of. We were all really pleased with how this evening went. We worked in a very professional manner and seized some great opportunities for interviews. Though a few of these were not planned it really made us realise that you need to take risks to get what you want and it is best to speak up to be heard!
Trish said that she will get in touch with us regarding an interview with her next week, so once that is shot we will have all of our footage. Great progress!
