My group were given the ship HMS Cavalier. Quick facts about the boat:
- Retired C-class destroyer of the Royal Navy.- One of 96 War Emergency Programme destroyers ordered between 1940 and 1942.
- Commissioned on 22 November 1944, decommissioned in 1972
- Served in the WW2 and various commissions in the Far East
- After decommissioning she was preserved as a museum ship
Some of the risks we found at the location were confined space, steep stairs, members of public, surrounded by water and only 2 fire exits.
We decided to do an interview of one of the people working on the boat telling a bit of it's history and then walk around getting the GV's that we wanted. Because we were limited for time we didn't use as much tripod as we wanted since we needed quite a bit of coverage and felt we didn't have time to set up the tripod for every shot. That resulted in a lot of the footage being quite wobbly. We also forgot to set the white balance when we went inside the boat which resulted in the footage being too yellow-y.
On Wednesday we looked at the footage from Monday and discussed everyone's clips in class.
Helens quick filming-tips
- Pan max 45ยบ
- Steady in/out
- Move from A to B
- Reveal
- Motivated moves
- Zoom - frame up
- Reset the camera before use
- Check the equipment for fingerprints/dirt
"It's better to have few good clips that you can use, than a lot of bad clips you can't use."
After the lesson we went to edit our footage into a short documentary. We chose George to edit while the rest of us worked on our main documentary 'Are we Numb'. Here's the finished edit of the footage from the Dockyard.
