Production Information for next meeting

Paul informed me today that he has had a reply from someone who works at Sheffield Wednesday who said they have managed to track Paul Gregory (Tango) down at that he has agreed to be part of our documentary and she has also passed on his number to us which is great news so I've now come up with this list of things we need to start discussing when we next meet up and things we can be getting on with - I have posted it on our Facebook page so everyone can have a look and refer back to it. I have also listed some questions we could possibly ask him, along with it are Sheffield Weds fixtures for the next couple of months which I think is useful to know and some important dates for us.

Documentary – To Do

1.       Email Sheffield Weds thanking for tracking Paul (Tango) down and number also need to ask:

·         If we would be able to film him during a home match (just Paul, crowd and band)

·         If we could also film in the ground when empty

·         If can’t film during match can we record crowd atmos, band etc instead

·         Contacting another football ground to ask their permission e.g. Peterborough

2.       Discuss exactly what we potentially will require of Tango:

·         This includes what, how, when, where, why we want to film him so he needs to be clearly aware of the purpose of our film – his football fan persona and his outside persona.

·         This could include things like football life and home life – on the way to a match, at a home match (Saturday), at pub/friends, at home, at work etc.

·         Questions we intend to ask him for interviews – come up with list of questions as group.

·         Interviewing/asking questions about him to his friend in wheelchair and possibly other friends.

We need to establish most of this so we can pass on the info to Tango ASAP so he knows what to expect and to see if and what we have permission to do.

3.       Start to think about locations and shot lists for 2 min poetic doc – what shots we want to get and also what sounds we want to get e.g. establishing shots of empty ground, sound of crowd etc.

·         Paper work –  treatment, Contributor & subject research, contributor consents, location recce info & photos, shot lists, sound lists, schedule/shooting schedule, equipment list (what camera are we going to use, dolly, stills camera), risk assessments

4.       Getting in contact with the Sheffield weds/England band

Important Dates:

·         Tues 19^th Feb – Pitch and Treatment hand in

·         Mon 13^th March – 2 min Poetic Doc hand in
