DOC UNIT: SHOOTING DAY 3

Slowly but surely we are making progress. Today myself and Jordan visited Jordan's old rugby club Sevenoaks. We were there to meet director of rugby Roger Mckerlie who has known Jordan since he was about 6 years old playing in the under 7's. We ended up spending a good chunk of the afternoon chatting to Roger about rugby at the club and in general. At some point during the afternoon we did sit down to do a proper interview with him talking about concussion.

I have to say Roger was hugely helpful and nice to us providing us with the time during his day off to help us with our film. As a former rugby player himself and a person who generally knows about the game he was very good with his answers. Not only were they good answers, but they were delivered with confidence as well to really provide our film with a powerful knowledgable voice to cut to when needed.

According to Jordan who has the camera, the footage is looking good and we got a lot of coverage.

Our next stage is to film an interview with Sam Noss who will be the main character of our story, who should tie our film together to make it into a channel 4 style documentary. This should hopefully happen tomorrow or within the next few days.

Starting Transcripts:

I have personally begun writing up the transcripts for our documentary. I have already completed the transcript for our first interview with Dr. Harris. It is quite a pain staking process, but I found once you got into a rhythm it was fairly plain sailing.

I am not entirely sure how you do transcripts but I gave it my best shot by naming each section with the number of the clip. I have also put for each new paragraph the time in and out so as to know where I am when I come to edit, once I have got all the footage.
