We initially found it quite difficult to figure out how to use all of the buttons, and all the extra equipment (for example grips), however it was better for us to master it before we got to the shoot.
The go-pros filmed in great quality, with a slight fish-eye effect. They were also useful for shooting in slow motion, which we'd like to use in our film. Go-pros are also known for their attachment to skateboard videography.
Before the shoot, we also drafted some questions to ask our subjects:
- Please state your name and that you give permission for us to film
- How long have you been skateboarding?
- Do you come to the Level very often?
- What made you want to get into skateboarding?
- How do you feel about skateboarding culture?
- Do you think that skate culture exists as a subculture itself, or is it just a sport?
- Do your friends skate as well or do you do it on your own?
- What negative perceptions do people have of you skateboarding/skate culture?
For the shoot, we filmed again at the Level to get some more footage for the pilot. We filmed in slow motion, using the X70 camera, of skaters performing tricks. This was to add to dramatic tone of our documentary.
We interviewed two boys who we saw skateboarding in regards to their thoughts on skate culture. It was useful to receive the opinions of actual skaters, as it was more personal, pertaining to the "self" aspect of the brief.
