Studio Live Production: Margate Shoot


Me, Sophie, Danny, Mike, Mark, Illy and Sam, went to Margate to shoot our Politics VT.

Our plan was to film Vox pops, get pieces to cameras and cutaways.

I assisted Sophie, the VT producer to find people who wouldn't mind answering whether they voted and why. We also made sure that whoever agreed signed a consent form before going on camera. Most of the day was successful, however there was one part that didn't go so well.

One of our last shoots of the day was to ask people on a pub, who they would rather buy a pint for out of Al Murray and Nigel Farrage. We found a pub/bar and got permission to film in there however, we had a problem finding people to answer on camera. We finally found two women who were happy to be filmed, however after filming they wanted to review the consent form and ended ripping them up.


It really shocked us as we thought we had a filmed part of the scene. After this incident the day was getting late and we decided to talk back to the Helen, the producer.

Helen understood what happened and said to go back there, however go to a different bar/pub.

The VT team decided to go back to Margate the following week, however I decided to stay behind to start editing the footage I already had from the first shoot.
