First shoot - Saturday 23/2 at football ground

We started our first bit of filming on Saturday as that's when the first match was - kick off at 3pm Hillsborough. Me and Luke met Paul and Jacob who went down earlier to film the first walking sequence of the poetic documentary which involved Tango walking down the road towards the Hillsborough stadium (not seeing his face) and then him stopping and turning to look up at the Sheffield Weds Emblem on the front of the ground.

Once we'd all met up firstly we tested the sound equipment again - lapels, rifle so we wouldn't be messing about once we got to Tango. We got a few long shots of the stadium from the view of the park quickly and then made our way to the Hillsborough club where Tango usually drinks before the match starts. Luckily one of the people in charge allowed us to go to a function room upstairs where it was quiet so we could interview Tango, me and Paul both asked the questions that I had previously come up with.




Once we'd finished the interview we went our separate ways - Paul made his way to the stop of a nearby hill as he knew it well and said he could gets some shots of the crowd going in and out of the stadium and also try and capture some sounds and atmos of the crowd.

Me, Luke and Jacob had a quick lunch and then made our way inside the stadium early to see if we could get any pictures of Tango coming in and taking his top off but unfortunately he arrived quite late. During the match we tried to take pictures of him and even moved seats to get closer but with the cameras we were using we couldn't really get any decent, clear images and Tango also seemed to be having a quiet day which was a bit disappointing but we will try again next week. We also tried to capture some sound of the crowds while the match was going on using the small flip cams.
After the match we met up with Paul who said filming went OK and he managed to film the people going in, although it wasn't quite the crowds he hoped as people seemed to be going in in dribs and drabs.
