a) Setting up equipment
For each shoot I had a camera and tripod. For the first shoot, I made sure that the snooker table we played on was in a corner, meaning I could leave the tripod extended and reducing the risk of someone tripping over the equipment. I would extend the tripod fully, and then turn on the DSLR camera. I would go through the camera settings in depth, to make sure I was happy with the setup. Then I would detach the camera holder for the tripod, making sure it was secure and that the camera would not fall off. I would then start filming. When changing shots, for example a hand held shot, I would remove the camera from the tripod and start filming without it. Once finished, I would pack away all the equipment, and once I have access to a computer I would transfer the files from the SD card.
b) Discussing scenes in which you followed your script and storyboard and justifying scenes when you went off script - this should just be on the 2 or 3 key scenes you storyboarded and scripted.

However, I went slightly off and decided to film other parts of the club, which aren't included in my storyboard. An example is below.

c) Explain how you followed safe working practices on locations - this should reference how you used equipment safely and overcame any issues on the locations
I followed safe working practices during my filming. For example, when setting up the equipment I always made sure that everything was securely in place and screwed in tightly, especially the camera mount. Before shooting, I double checked this, just to be safe. When filming around the snooker table, I took the camera on and off the tripod, as this meant I didn't have to carry the tripod around with me, possibly causing injury to the player moving round the table. There were no cables invloved which helped create a safer shooting zone. When having to move the tripod in the way of other players, I spoke to them first, and they waited for me to finish the shot. This reduced the chance of a random person tripping up on the tripod.
d) Summarise your production process - how closely did your production follow your planning? What went well? What were some issues?

- My production process went well. I followed my planning very closely, for example, I took the storyboards I made with me to replicate what I had drawn. I got all the shots I wanted and I was happy with the outcome of each shoot. However, the biggest issue was that I had a faulty camera for the interview, which stopped recording half way through missing 5-6 minutes worth of good footage. This was unfortunate, however, when looking back at the footage, I have 4 minutes which should be enough for my documentary, with roughly 5 questions fully answered. If I feel that I need more footage for the interview, I could schedule a second interview.
