Character Study log - 24/11/2008

We changed our plan over the weekend after we got some feedback during one of our seminars. The one thing we were worried about was indeed the biggest problem. The input was that the audience needed something else to look at if we didn't want it to be boring. Previously, Joe, the director, mentioned that he wanted to record at least part of the interview to show in the film, even if it was only Nathan's mouth, not his entire face; we were told to applaud this decision and to go with it.
Then we filmed the interview section of our documentary.) We needed the same set as the first day of filming plus a boom mic to record sound for the camcorder. Everything went to plan, we set up both the camcorder and the R-09 recorder while we had a chat about some of the questions we would be asking. Nathan was a bit nervous but when we actually started recording he quickly seemed to get comfortable. He gave a great account of his experiences and the progression of his artwork; he also told some great stories.
