So went back to Liverpool today, but had abit of trouble getting there. Partly due to my rubbish navigating skills. I blame my travel sickness, really doesn't help when I have to read stuff :/ but anyway we made it eventually and they hadn't started yet, Ambrose was doing soundchecks with the Djing equipment. But it did mean that we didn't have time to reshoot any of the church footage.
However, we got a good strong interview from Ambrose, that should help nicely with our piece and the night itself was an amazing experience.
We got set up and me and Owen walked around getting shots during the event, but not many people were going up to play on the drums, which i think was partly because they didn't want to be filmed, so we had to turn the camera away and film other things inside the church and hope that more people would come.
Emma took over for sound because Alex agreed to help at his work, so we took the advice of Neil with the coat hanger effect with the tie clip mics. Although Emma improvised with a stick. So she switched about half way to get some recordings on the rode NT mic, just incase the other recordings didn't turn out great.
Unfortunately it got dark quickly and so many of the later shots might be too dark to use, but hopefully not. We managed to get an interview with the DJ Carla, although she was in a hurry, so we couldn't really set up properly, so again it might be unuseable :/ We also got Maxine, who was an ethusiatic participant of the night, who used to be homeless, so we got the different side of the story, which will give our piece a more emotional point of view.
It was a really fun night and I'm just disappointed that I didn't have a go at drumming myself ^_^
