DOC UNIT: FIRST SHOOTS

I am just using this blog to reflect on the filming myself and Jordan did last Wednesday and Thursday. We spent Wednesday filming at a rugby club near Jordan's house so we could get some shots on what was a very nice day. We used a rugby ball and some rugby posts to get some filler shots for the film, and I have to say they turned out quite nicely. With the help of my slider and the tripod we managed to get some very nice looking shots so that we could have some in the bank for when we get to the edit. Here is just one of those shots from Wednesday:

On Thursday we had a somewhat more fruitful day of filming, going to visit Dr. Harris a young newly licensed GP. He was a very willing interviewee who answered all of our questions, was very patient and also was a good talker in front of camera. Dr. Harris is a rugby player himself who has also been concussed on quite a few occasions. So that was very useful to be able to talk about and explore more than the questions we provided. I wrote out some questions prior to the interview which we altered slightly on an ad lib basis due to the information we got about his own concussions. Here are the questions I wrote:

QUESTIONS FOR DOCTOR
1.Can you describe concussion for us in your best words?
2.What are the procedures to take when someone on a sports field has a head injury?
3.What is the current way of diagnosing concussion? 4.If concussion is the diagnosis what is the next step? 5.Have you ever personally had to deal with an on field
head injury?
6.If so can you tell us about a memorable incident
whether for good or bad? 

Here is also a little bit of footage from that day where we got interview footage as well as actuality and the odd bit from his office:
