Filming with new presenter

Today we re-filmed the interview with BK using the new presenter. The way in which the interviewed was done, is a lot more effective than when we used Russell Brand as the interview tackles the situation with Bk a lot more seriously. The interview is in depth and informs the audience of the implications which gambling is having of Bk`s life.

Change in plan

After filming an actor pretending to be Russell Brand, we looked over the footage and had a change of heart regarding Russell Brand  being the presenter. We thought that our documentary should have a more serious approach to gambling, thereby having Russell Brand as the presenter would give our documentary a comical approach, which is not what we are aiming for. Instead of this we will be using a different presenter who will give our documentary a more serious approach by acting in the stereotypical way in which most presenters use. We will start re-filiming with a different presenter tomorrow.

Plan of action

Looking over our footage, we have found gaps in our collection of footage and found that the sound isnt as good quality as we had hoped for. So with the deadline drawing near, we have to get all the footage we need within the next couple of days. Therefore i am going to go and take some pillow shots of outside ladbrokes today. Tomorrow the group and I will be re-doing the interview of our subject BK using Russel Brand as our presenter.

Russel Brand idea

We have had an idea, which is to use famous comedian and actor `Russel Brand` as our presenter and to interview our subject BK. The role of Russel will be played by an actor who bares a similar resemblance to him and can imitate him brilliantly.Our thouts behind this idea, was that Russel suffered from various different drug addictions and would be the perfect face to present our documentary on addiction.

Filming in Ladbrookes

Today the group went to Ladbrokes to get some shots of the gambling machines in their. We ended up get some various different shots of the virtual roulette, black jack, virtual dogs and horse racing. I am pleased with the shots which we got as they are clear high quality shots which we can include in our documentary.
