Recce under pressure

When it comes to doing a Recce you don't expect perfect camera work but you do want to make sure you can get across what the contributor is like on camera.

I found that when we interviewed Len, who is one of our contributors for our next group project (3 minute wonder), it had to be done quickly due to the lack of time he had availble. We got a general feel of how he was on camera but it felt a bit rushed with us quickly setting up the camera, pointing and recording and then letting him get back to his busy schedule.

It was productive though, even with the lack of time we managed to record of  him on camera we were able to talk to parents to start to build up these relationships and develop some kind of trust with them. Due to the difficulties we will face with filming children swimming, these relationships need to become strong. This isn't a set back just something we will overcome as a group!
