Documentary Unit: Shoot Day 6
Shahak interview
Today we filmed our interview with our 'yolocaust' artist Shahak Shapira. We were able to film this in the hotel we were staying in. We had the choice of two rooms to film in; after receding the two locations we found the one closer to the kitchen was prone to more background noise, while the breakfast room was louder but closed for 11:00 which is when we were due to film. We had to make the executive decision in hopping the noise in the breakfast room would quieten down when we come to film, which luckily it did.
Because it was a dark day outside, we required the two LED lights with the orange filter, which improved the aesthetic look. However, when watching the footage back I found it to be a little too orange, so will bring that down more in post. The answers he gave were very useful to our piece, and will look fantastic to the overall documentary.
After filming this we went on to shoot a short sequence of Kamran looking through social media on his phone, to see the difference between taking selfies at the Holocaust Memorial and in a concentration camp such as Auschwitz. We filmed this in the hotel reception, in this lounge area. There was a lot of light coming through one of the windows which resulted in some overexposure. In order to reduce this we used a soft box, which would reduce its strength. The filming came out well, and was good to have for an interlude during the documentary, just to update on Kamrans research.
